Patient's question:
My baby is now 47 days old and is a boy. This was supposed to be a happy occasion. But today I noticed a problem: my baby's testicles are not the same size. Given that the baby is only 47 days old and has one larger and one smaller testicle, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
If a child's testicular volume growth and development is problematic, treatment is needed through the following aspects. In cases where one testicle is significantly larger than the other, it is necessary to consider congenital conditions and the possibility of coordinating with androgens. However, since the child is still in a young age group, a thorough examination should be conducted, including a ultrasound of the urinary and reproductive system. As long as the testicular growth and development falls within the normal range and there are no other issues, there is no need to be overly concerned. It is also possible that the larger side is due to hydrocele.
