Patient's question:
I found that the other testicle on my side had disappeared, which felt a bit scary. Later, I searched online and found that this symptom is called cryptorchidism. I don't want to have surgery at the hospital, it feels very terrifying, but I'm also afraid that I might get male infertility in the future.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Undescended testes refer to the congenital absence of one or both testes in the scrotum, including conditions such as undescended testes, testicular ectopia, and testicular agenesis. It is recommended that you undergo clinical surgical treatment at the most appropriate age, with earlier intervention being better, as this affects development. This can lead to low sperm count in the future, ultimately resulting in male infertility. Wishing you good health.
