Does testicular atrophy affect the development of the other side?

Patient's question:

A two-year-old child had an orchiopexy surgery before the New Year, and now it has been discovered that one of the testicles has atrophied. What could have caused this? Will it affect the development of the other testicle? If the other testicle's development is poor, what should be done?

Doctor's answer:

Still, it does have an impact, so it's important to see how the surgery was performed and to check promptly to see if it can still be repaired through surgery. It's also necessary to carefully monitor the other testicle, as it may also be prone to swelling. Therefore, timely and thorough examination is required to determine the specific cause of the swelling, and the patient should also closely observe any abnormalities in the other testicle.
For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive medication promptly and maintain a regular sex life in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
