Question
The child is nearly 2 years old and has had one larger testicle than the other since birth. Today, we had an ultrasound done, and one side hasn’t developed at all. What kind of interference will this have on the child in the future?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the two-year-old child has been discovered to have asymmetrical testicle size, with one side undeveloped. This condition could be due to unilateral cryptorchidism or testicular abnormalities. If the other side of the testicles is of normal size and blood tests show that the testosterone levels are within the normal range, then the impact on future growth and fertility should be minimal. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician or urologist for professional advice and further examination.
