Patient's question:
Doctor, I always feel uncomfortable, what should I do? Why can't I feel the testicles when I touch them at 2 years old?Doctor's answer:
When the baby is sleeping during nap time and cannot touch the testicles, it may be possible that the testicles have moved up. This could be due to an inguinal hernia or an intra-abdominal hernia. This situation should be considered as a possible undescended testicle. It is recommended that you have an ultrasound performed on the baby to check if there is an undescended testicle and to determine the exact location of the testicle. If the testicle has not descended by the age of two, surgical treatment will be necessary to avoid affecting future fertility.
