Patient's question:
A colleague's child is over three years old. Recently, while giving him a bath, I suddenly noticed something unusual with his testicles—they often disappear. I'm very concerned about his condition. I've heard of a symptom called "floating testicle," so I want to ask how to confirm whether this is indeed a floating testicle?What kind of help is needed: How to confirm if it's a floating testicle?
Doctor's answer:
It is suspected that it might be a wandering testicle. You should observe it carefully on a daily basis. Not only should you observe it, but you should also touch it with your hands to check if there is a solid testicle inside the scrotum. In most cases, if one side of the scrotum is empty, it indicates a wandering testicle. Generally, testicles in children under the age of two may have the possibility of rising, but if it occurs below the age of two, it is not normal and should be treated with surgical intervention in a hospital promptly. Do not delay. The above advice is for the question "How to confirm if it is a wandering testicle?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
