What should I do if the testicles run to the groin?

Patient's question:

When my baby was born, I noticed that the two testicles were in different positions, and it never really stood out. Recently, I noticed that one of the testicles has moved to the inguinal region. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a case of cryptorchidism in newborns, it may happen again. Within the first year of life, it is possible for the testicles to naturally descend into the scrotum. If they have not descended into the scrotum by the age of one, surgical treatment is recommended as soon as possible. As parents, it is important to observe the newborn's condition promptly and carefully. If timely treatment is not obtained, it can greatly interfere with future fertility. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
