Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old, my undescended testicle issue has existed since birth. I haven't received treatment for a long time. Will it have any impact? Do I still need treatment now?Doctor's answer:
Orchiopexy (undescended testes) can be treated, but you need to first go to the hospital for an examination. The treatment plan can only be determined based on your test results. Orchiopexy is a condition commonly found in infancy. It refers to the phenomenon where a male infant is born without testicles or with only one testicle. The primary treatment for orchiopexy is surgical descent and fixation of the testes. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic treatment for orchiopexy has the advantages of not disrupting the anatomical structure of the inguinal region, not damaging the cremaster muscle, and accurately locating the testes or confirming the absence of testes, thereby avoiding blind exploration. It can also elevate the spermatic cord and allow it to descend tension-free to the bottom of the scrotum for fixation. Currently, this is the ideal approach for treating orchiopexy.
