Question
My child had a single-sided cryptorchidism surgery at 14 months old and was later diagnosed with microlithiasis. Now 11 years old, I am worried about the effects of the surgery, including whether it will affect future fertility and the risk of developing cancer.
Answer
After cryptorchidism surgery, the risk of testicular cancer is lower than that of those who have not undergone surgery, but it is still slightly higher than that of the general population. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary.
