Patient's question:
Suffered from the illness for many years without treatment. Whenever overexerting, there is a sense of distending pain in the right groin. Already married, but still no children.Doctor's answer:
For unilateral cryptorchid patients who seek treatment after puberty, considering that the normal contralateral testis produces sufficient male hormones to maintain normal male life, while the undescended testis has lost its spermatogenic function and carries a risk of malignancy, it is advisable to perform orchiectomy. For bilateral cryptorchid patients after puberty, the treatment should be determined based on specific circumstances, but at least one testis should be fixed into the scrotum to maintain the source of male hormones. If the other testis cannot be surgically fixed into the scrotum, it should also be removed.
