Patient's question:
I had my orchiopexy surgery when I was 18 years old. During the surgery, the doctor said that the testicle on the undescended side was developing quite well and told me to take medication. At the time, I didn't remember what it was, and I also forgot to ask. Could you please tell me what kind of medication should be taken after an orchiopexy surgery to stimulate the growth of the testicle on the undescended side?Doctor's answer:
??????Orchiopexy is a common condition, generally requiring surgical treatment before the age of two. If surgery is performed after 18, the function of the undescended testicle is usually lost, making medication ineffective. Blood tests for the six major sex hormones may be performed to confirm the diagnosis. There is no need to take medication at this time. It is advisable to reduce masturbation and engage in more exercise to strengthen the body.
