Question
When my baby was two months old, an ultrasound revealed that the right testicle had not descended. Now, at six months old, it still has not descended. During this period, no treatment has been received because it was believed that the testicle might descend on its own by the age of one. However, I have seen online that medication or hormones can be used to promote the descent of the testicle. What is the situation?
Answer
Based on your description, cryptorchidism may be involved. It is recommended to first confirm the diagnosis, and if confirmed as cryptorchidism, surgical treatment should be carried out. Do not give medication arbitrarily without clearly identifying the cause. This is my suggestion for “The baby was two months old when an ultrasound revealed that the right testicle had not descended.
