Patient's question:
My colleague just had a baby last month, and she noticed that the testicles haven't descended. What should you do if an infant's testicles haven't descended?Doctor's answer:
After the colleague had a baby, the testicles did not ascend, indicating cryptorchidism. Within the first year of the baby's life, the testicles may still ascend, so there is no need to be overly concerned. It is advisable to wait and see for now. Encourage the baby to drink more water. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should consume more protein and vitamin-rich foods. If the testicles have not descended by the time the baby is one year old, it is important to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination. In daily life, it is essential to maintain a positive mood. A good mood is very helpful for recovery from the condition.
