Patient's question:
I have a right undescended testicle, I am 27 years old, and I am from Beijing. A few days ago, I went to the General Hospital of the Armed Police Corps and Peking Union Medical College Hospital for check-ups. Both hospitals said I need to have surgery as soon as possible, but there are no beds available. Peking Union Medical College Hospital requires waiting for about one and a half months, while the General Hospital of the Armed Police Corps will take at least about a week. I want to get treatment as soon as possible. Can you go to Friendship Hospital? --Please recommend a good hospital for me, thank you!!!Doctor's answer:
Actually, it's better to have it removed because the right testicle has such a low likelihood of functioning that it poses a risk of malignancy. Generally, surgery for an undescended testicle is most effective when performed during childhood. If you have the surgery as an adult, you may experience a blood clot, and it's important to monitor whether the clot is gradually increasing in size. If the clot doesn't grow, it means you can temporarily wait for it to gradually resolve and absorb. However, if the clot gradually increases in size, you will need surgery to remove it.
