Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old Disease/Symptoms: Undescended testicle Condition Description: A 7-year-old boy has been diagnosed with right inguinal cryptorchidism! Left cryptorchidism! Does this require surgery! Will it have an impact after surgery?Doctor's answer:
Orchiopexy is caused by congenital developmental abnormalities and is one of the more common diseases. Early detection and treatment are crucial. Undescended testicles may indicate the risk of cancer: surgical treatment is recommended in a timely manner. If the testicles are well-developed, testicular descent fixation can be considered. If the testicles are underdeveloped, they need to be removed, which will affect fertility. It is necessary and essential that, in principle, the earlier the surgery for this condition is performed, the better. After the age of two, surgery will inevitably affect testicular development.
