Patient's question:
Medical History: A 9-year-old male child, who previously underwent surgery for right hydrocele of the spermatic cord at the age of 3, visited the Tengzhou Central People's Hospital for a follow-up examination yesterday. The color Doppler ultrasound revealed a recurrence of hydrocele in the right spermatic cord, with an approximate size of 3.21.0 cm in the dark area. Additionally, it was observed that the testis was slightly smaller than that of children of the same age. The following growth hormone tests were conducted: Prolactin level: 305.67 mIU/L (Reference range: 95.4-267.12 mIU/L), Testosterone level: 0.03 nmol/L (Reference range: 10.41-19.77 nmol/L), Estradiol level: 1.31 pmol/LDoctor's answer:
Hello, high total testosterone levels generally affect fertility issues and must be treated accordingly.Suggestions: There are many possible causes, including adrenal cortical hyperplasia, adrenal cortical tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian androgen-producing tumors, pineal gland tumors, idiopathic hirsutism, hypothyroidism, etc. Additionally, endocrine disorders and high stress can also lead to disruptions. It is recommended to first undergo a check-up to determine if there is an organic lesion. If not, traditional Chinese medicine regulation can help normalize the condition quickly. Wishing you good health.
