What should be done if a child has undescended testicles?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I took my precious son to the hospital for a health check-up. The results revealed that my son's testicles are underdeveloped, which has me frantic as a mother. I want to ask the doctor, what should I do about my son's underdeveloped testicles? Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many different types of abnormal testicular development. I don't know which specific type your baby has. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's urology department for examination. If it is a condition like cryptorchidism, it can be treated with surgery. At the same time, blood tests should be conducted to carefully check for hormone excretion abnormalities that may lead to testicular underdevelopment. If this is the case, corresponding hormones can be adjusted accordingly.
