Patient's question:
The child is 13 years old and one of his testicles hasn't descended. His penis is very small. After the surgery, the testicle descended. Now, can the child still grow and develop? If he can grow and develop, can he develop normally?Doctor's answer:
Friend, based on your description and clinical diagnostic symptoms, your baby may have cryptorchidism. My advice is to take your baby to a regular hospital's general surgery department to consult with a doctor. After diagnosing cryptorchidism, it is recommended to perform cryptorchidectomy under general anesthesia. Unfortunately, the function of the testicles may be lost. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
