    Cryptorchidism can generally be treated with general treatment, medication, or minimally invasive surgery. The specific treatment method must be strictly followed by the doctor's instructions.

    1. General treatment

    The testicles should be cleaned and cared for in time to reduce adverse stimulation to the testicles and prevent the condition from getting worse.

    2. Drug treatment

    Cryptorchidism may be a congenital hereditary disease, or it may be caused by premature birth or the mother drinking alcohol during pregnancy. It usually occurs on one side or both sides, and the air in the scrotum usually does not reach the testicles. Cryptorchidism can generally be treated with oral medication. You can take human chorionic gonadotropin, which can stimulate the secretion of ketones by indirect cells, accelerate local blood flow in the testicles, and help promote testicular enlargement, usually with thickening of the spermatic cord.

    3. Minimally invasive surgery

    Cryptorchidism can also be treated through standard testicular descent and fixation surgery as directed by the doctor. Through surgery, a long enough spermatic cord will be freed and the testicles will be fixed in the scrotum on the same side, which will help improve the situation of cryptorchidism. It can also be treated by staging the testicular descent rate. Usually, the testicle can be lowered and fixed at the pubic bone. During the second operation, the testicle can be lowered without tension and fixed in the scrotum, which usually helps to treat cryptorchidism.

    In addition, surgical treatment can be performed through surgery.
