Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old, my undescended testicle issue has existed since birth. I haven't received treatment for a long time. Will it have any impact? Do I still need treatment now?Doctor's answer:
Orchiopexy (undescended testis) is treatable, but you need to go to the hospital for an examination first. Treatment can only be determined based on your test results. Orchiopexy is a condition commonly found in infancy, referring to the phenomenon where a male infant is born without testicles or with only one testicle. The primary treatment for orchiopexy is surgical descent and fixation of the testis. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic treatment for orchiopexy has the advantages of not disrupting the anatomical structure of the inguinal region, not damaging the cremaster muscle, and accurately locating the testis or confirming the absence of testes, avoiding blind exploration. It can also release the spermatic cord at a high position, allowing it to descend tension-free to the bottom of the scrotum for fixation. This is currently the ideal solution for treating orchiopexy.
