Question

My son is 5 years old, and during the physical examination, it was said that the testicles have not descended into the penis, indicating poor development. What is the matter, doctor? Any good suggestions would be appreciated!

Answer

Your situation may be caused by a long foreskin, requiring hospital circumcision treatment, followed by sitz bath therapy and intravenous administration of a large amount of antibiotics. It is recommended to wear loose and breathable underwear, while keeping the penis head upward to alleviate swelling. Regular follow-up visits may be necessary. For parents, do not be anxious; take your child to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and pay attention to regular check-ups and symptomatic treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
