Patient's question:
On the left testicle, there's a big, round one, and on the right, I can't feel anything. I didn't notice it before, but I only felt it recently. What is it?Doctor's answer:
One side has a testicle, while the other side doesn't—it has an undescended testicle and should be actively treated. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital and see a surgeon. Early treatment is best, ideally before the age of 4. If left untreated for too long, it can interfere with fertility. The testicle can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
