What to do if the baby’s testicles don’t come down

How to deal with infants whose testicles do not descend to the scrotum: First, this condition is called cryptorchidism, which is a kind of congenital disease. Within 6 months after birth, it may descend on its own, so you need to observe it regularly and pay attention to whether you can feel the testicles in the scrotum. Secondly, if the testicle does not descend on its own after 6 months, medication is needed. The timing of drug treatment should be within 8-10 months, and human chorionic gonadotropin can be used for intramuscular injection, and the treatment course is 1 month. Third, if the testicles do not descend to the scrotum after hormone therapy, surgery is recommended. The timing of surgery should be done within 1-2 weeks of age. The surgical method of testicular descent fixation is chosen. After surgery, there is a possibility of testicular retraction or testicular atrophy, etc., and hospitalization for observation is required for 1 week after surgery. Fourth, if over 2 weeks of age, there is no need to consider hormone and other medication, and it is recommended that surgery be performed directly at any time when it is found.
