What are the symptoms of cryptorchidism in children?
summary
? Cryptorchidism in children is a relatively rare disease. For this disease, most parents do not know much about it, nor do they know what its symptoms are. In this way, once children suffer from cryptorchidism in children, it is very likely that they will not be found and treated in time. Therefore, let's learn about the related symptoms of cryptorchidism in children.
What are the symptoms of cryptorchidism in children?
Cryptorchidism can occur in unilateral or bilateral, especially in unilateral. The incidence of unilateral cryptorchidism in the right side was slightly higher than that in the left side. But even in bilateral cryptorchidism, there is still an appropriate amount of androgen production, which can maintain the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, and rarely affect the sexual behavior of adults. Cryptorchidism patients without complications generally have no conscious symptoms. The main manifestations were flat scrotum on the affected side, asymmetric scrotum on the left and right sides in unilateral cases, and empty and collapsed scrotum in bilateral cryptorchidism cases.
if complicated with indirect inguinal hernia, mass appears on the affected side after activity, accompanied with distending pain and discomfort. In severe cases, paroxysmal abdominal pain, vomiting and fever may occur. If cryptorchidism torsion occurs, such as cryptorchidism located in the inguinal canal or outer ring, it is mainly manifested as local painful mass, no normal testis in the affected scrotum, and mild gastrointestinal symptoms. If cryptorchidism is located in the abdomen, the pain site after torsion is in the lower abdomen near the inner ring. The symptoms and signs of right intra-abdominal cryptorchidism torsion are quite similar to acute appendicitis. The main difference is that the tenderness point of intra-abdominal cryptorchidism torsion is low, near the inner ring.
In addition, testicular torsion should be highly suspected when there is no testicle in the affected scrotum. According to the location of testis, cryptorchidism can be divided into: ① high cryptorchidism refers to the testis located in the abdominal cavity or near the inguinal ring, accounting for 14% - 15% of cryptorchidism; ② Low cryptorchidism refers to the testis located in the inguinal canal or outer ring.
