A 9-year-old boy with undescended testicles has a congenital developmental abnormality that requires early surgical treatment to avoid the risk of testicular cancer.
Cryptorchidism on the right side may affect a child’s future fertility, and surgical treatment is necessary.
The child’s testicle had not descended at birth, now three years old, asking whether surgery is needed and the possible effects and consequences.
Neonatal cryptorchidism typically requires surgical treatment after the age of two, and no later than three years, to avoid the risk of cancer. Post-operation, patients should pay attention to maintaining hygiene in the surgical area and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods to aid in wound healing.
Cryptorchidism is a common neonatal condition that is usually discovered shortly after birth.
Consultation on genital development issues after surgery and medication treatment for cryptorchidism
The baby’s right testicle has not descended by the expected time. How should it be handled?
Discuss the treatment options for neonatal cryptorchidism complicated with hypospadias, including the success rates of surgical treatment and potential complications.
Infants under one year of age with cryptorchidism have a chance of spontaneous correction. For children over one year, medication or surgery can be considered.
