问:我家儿子2岁了,我们才发现摸不到孩子的睾丸,我们很着急,应该怎么办?答:一般说来,孩子还在娘肚子里时,其睾丸位于腹腔中。随着孕期增长,睾丸逐渐下降,孕期9个月时可降入阴囊内,故孩子呱呱坠地后大多数都能在阴囊内触摸到两个状如花生米大小的东西,这就是睾丸。只有极少数(约3%)阴囊里空空如也,但也会在出生后1～2个月摸到。假如出生后3个月阴囊仍是空的,就应诊断为隐睾症。 Q: My son is 2 years old and we found that we can not touch our children’s testicles. We are anxious. What should we do? A: In general, when the child is still in her mother’s stomach, her testicles are located in the abdominal cavity. As pregnancy increases, the testes gradually decline, 9 months of pregnancy can be dropped into the scrotum, so after the birth of the child most of them can touch in the scrotum two shaped things like peanuts, which is the testicle. Only a very small number (about 3%) of the scrotum is empty, but it can also be detected within 1 to 2 months after birth. If 3 months after birth, the scrotum is still empty, it should be diagnosed as cryptorchidism.
