Patient's question:
When I was a child, during the inguinal hernia surgery, one of my testicles was the size of a grain of rice. After the surgery, it never grew. Now that I've entered puberty, I'm worried about its impact on future fertility. Should I have the underdeveloped testicle removed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the surgery for hernia, you don't need to worry about postoperative complications. This type of surgery is relatively simple. In the field of abdominal surgery, it is the second most common simple procedure after appendectomy. As long as you avoid infection after the surgery, it will have no impact on your future life or health, so there is no need to worry! I believe everyone knows that hernia causes more harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light diet and avoiding stimulating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments can be scheduled when necessary.
