Question

My baby has unilateral cryptorchidism with one testicle located in the lower abdomen. I would like to know about possible solutions and past treatment experiences.

Answer

For a 10-month-old infant, treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) can be attempted. If there is no improvement, it is recommended to undergo orchidopexy before the age of 2 to minimize the impact on the testicle’s sperm-producing function.
