  • Is it normal?: "A family member told me to wait, but I'm not at ease. Is it normal for them not to descend?"
  • I'm looking for an expert: "I want a urologist who has experience with children and inspires confidence."
  • Concerns about surgery: "I'm scared about the surgery for my baby; I want to understand the process thoroughly."

Frequently asked questions

How long does cryptorchidism treatment last?
The duration of treatment can vary. If we opt for observation, follow-up is periodic. If surgery is necessary, the procedure itself lasts approximately one hour, and the post-operative recovery and follow-up process extends for several weeks or months to ensure everything progresses correctly.
What is the cost of treatment, and do you offer financing options?
The cost of treatment depends on whether it's observation only or if surgery is required, and on the specific details of each case. During the initial consultation, I will provide you with a clear estimate. Regarding financing options, we can review possibilities with your health insurance or explore payment plans, always seeking alternatives that suit your needs.
What possible side effects could cryptorchidism surgery have?
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, although they are infrequent. Mild post-operative discomfort, temporary swelling, or bruising might occur. My team and I take all precautions to minimize these effects, and we will provide you with all instructions for a safe and comfortable recovery.
What should I expect during the first consultation with you?
During the first consultation, we will focus on listening to your concerns and performing a complete evaluation of your child. I will review their medical history, conduct a detailed physical examination, and explain in a straightforward manner what cryptorchidism is and what the possible next steps are. My goal is for you to feel informed and at ease.
Are there contraindications for cryptorchidism surgery?
Generally, cryptorchidism surgery is a safe procedure for most children. However, some underlying health conditions or very specific situations might require additional evaluation or postponing the procedure. During the consultation, we will thoroughly analyze your child's history to ensure it is the right time for the intervention.
Are there alternatives to surgical treatment for this condition?
In some cases, especially if the testicle is palpable and spontaneous descent is expected, a period of observation may be chosen. However, for most cases of true cryptorchidism, orchiopexy (surgery) is the most recommended treatment to optimize testicular development and prevent future complications. We will discuss the best option for your child during our evaluation.
