Cryptorchid surgery is performed later, at age three.
The ideal age for effective fertility preservation in children with cryptorchidism is 12 to 24 months after birth. The decisive treatment for cryptorchidism should be done in the first 6 to 12 months of life, and at least before the age of 18 months, as the timing of the treatment may affect spermatogenesis, hormone production, and tumorigenesis in adulthood.
Self-descent of the testis after birth can occur within the first 6 months of life, after which the likelihood decreases and self-descent is no longer possible at 1 year of age. Retractile testes tend to require regular monitoring and continue into adolescence, and they tend to grow with the child almost always descending into the scrotum and remaining there. Usually the further the testicle is from the scrotum, the less likely it is to reach a normal position on its own.
If cryptorchidism is detected, it is advisable to take your child to the hospital and cooperate with the doctor to take treatment.
