Undescended Testis: Expert Care for Optimal Testicular Health in Children

At Dr. Aroon Trivedi’s practice, we specialize in providing expert care for children with Undescended Testis, a common condition where one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum. Our dedicated team offers specialized diagnosis, comprehensive treatment, and ongoing support to ensure optimal testicular health and well-being in children with Undescended Testis.

Understanding Undescended Testis:

Undescended Testis, also known as cryptorchidism, refers to the condition where one or both testes do not descend into the scrotum by the time of birth. This can occur due to various factors, including hormonal imbalances, anatomical abnormalities, or genetic predisposition. Understanding the implications and potential risks associated with Undescended Testis is crucial for effective management.

Comprehensive Evaluation:

At our practice, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the extent and characteristics of Undescended Testis in your child. Our approach includes:

  • Detailed medical history review, including prenatal and birth history.
  • Comprehensive physical examination to assess the location and mobility of the undescended testis.
  • Diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasound or MRI, to evaluate the position and anatomy of the testis.

Personalized Treatment Options:

We believe in providing individualized treatment plans for each child with Undescended Testis. Our approach may include:

  • Hormonal therapy: In some cases, we may prescribe hormone injections to stimulate testicular descent. This treatment is often effective when the testis is close to the scrotum but has not fully descended.
  • Surgical correction: For testes that do not respond to hormonal therapy or are located higher in the abdomen or groin, surgical intervention is typically recommended. Our skilled team performs orchidopexy, a surgical procedure to reposition the testis into the scrotum and secure it in place.
  • Timely intervention: We emphasize the importance of timely intervention to ensure the best outcomes. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent potential complications, such as infertility and an increased risk of testicular cancer later in life.

Post-Treatment Care:

After surgical correction or hormonal therapy, we provide comprehensive post-treatment care to monitor your child’s recovery and ensure optimal testicular health. This may involve:

  • Regular follow-up appointments to assess the position and function of the testis and monitor for any potential complications.
  • Guidance on post-operative care, including wound management and activity restrictions.
  • Ongoing monitoring of testicular development and puberty-related changes.
