Recently, I found out that my son only has one testicle. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Recently, I noticed that my son only has one testicle. I took him for a color Doppler ultrasound, and the results said that one testicle is in the inguinal canal. Can it still rise on its own?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is indeed a condition of undescended testicles. Do not be anxious now; we are waiting until after the age of two. If they have not ascended by then, surgery may be considered.
It is recommended that you do not be anxious and wait for another year before conducting a thorough examination again. If they still have not ascended, surgery may be considered. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
