Patient's question:
3 days ago, there has been a dull pain in the testicles that persists to this day. I used to have undescended testicles and had surgery at the age of 10. Now one testicle is larger than the other. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
The standard medical literature suggests that orchiopexy should be performed before the age of twenty-eight. Doing it at the age of ten is a bit late. Your testicles may be affected by this. If the size difference between the two testicles is significant, it is recommended to visit the hospital for a testicular ultrasound and blood tests to measure sex hormones. This will help assess the hormone levels for testicular health. For patients with testicular conditions, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may impact fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
