Question
How should a six-month-old baby with an undescended right testicle be handled?
Answer
If you find that your baby’s right testicle has not descended into the scrotum, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. An ultrasound can determine the position of the testicle and determine if it is a cryptorchid condition. Cryptorchidism may affect fertility and increase the risk of cancer, so early treatment is crucial. The doctor may suggest surgery at an appropriate time to pull the undescended testicle into the scrotum. Parents should closely monitor their baby’s condition and follow the doctor’s professional advice.
