Patient's question:
The child is 10 years old this year and accidentally discovered that the testicle was not inside the scrotum.Doctor's answer:
Surgery before the age of two has little impact on the testicular spermatogenic function. It will significantly affect it if it exceeds four years old, and it will severely affect it if it exceeds eight years old. If it exceeds twelve years old, even after surgery, the testicular spermatogenic function cannot be restored. Therefore, it is best to perform orchiopexy (surgical descent and fixation of undescended testes) before the age of two.As everyone knows, testicular malformation causes significant harm to the patient, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a preference for light and balanced meals, avoiding foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when required.
