Patient's question:
A child was born with one less testicle in the first half of their life. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Not treated, no allergies, no transmission, what kind of assistance is cared about: How much does it cost if surgery is to be done?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: According to your description, your child suffers from cryptorchidism. Cryptorchidism refers to a condition where one or both testicles of a male infant do not descend into the scrotum but remain at any point in their normal ascent process. Within the first year of life, the testicles may potentially ascend on their own into the scrotum, so endocrine treatment can be adopted during this period. For a 10-month-old child, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone can be administered. If the testicles have not descended by the age of two, surgical treatment should be adopted, specifically the orchidopexy procedure to fix the testicles in place. Generally, the best treatment period is within the first two years of life. The older the age, the higher the risk of malignant transformation of the testicles.
