Question
My child currently has one undescended testicle, which sometimes enters the scrotum and sometimes is just beside it. Our whole family is very worried. How should we handle this? What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods for pediatric cryptorchidism?
Answer
Under normal circumstances, the testicles should descend into the scrotum during development. If cryptorchidism is detected, medical attention should be sought promptly. After the cause is cleared, medication can be considered to help the testicle descend. If the condition persists, surgery may be necessary to avoid potential health and fertility issues.
