Understanding Orchidopexy

Orchidopexy is a surgical procedure to correct undescended testicles, a condition where one or both of the testicles fail to move into the scrotum before birth. This procedure is essential not only for the proper development of the testes but also for the long-term health and well-being of the patient.

5 Common Myths About Orchidopexy

Myth: Orchidopexy is only necessary for infants.
Reality: Although orchidopexy is often done on infants or young children, it may sometimes be required on adults or older children who were not treated at an earlier age.

Myth: Orchidopexy is a risky surgery.

Reality: When carried out by a skilled surgeon, orchidopexy is a common and usually safe treatment. The advantages greatly exceed the few risks.

Myth: Undescended testicles will eventually descend on their own.

Reality: In most cases, if the testicles have not descended by 6 months of age, they are unlikely to do so without surgical intervention.

Myth: Orchidopexy affects fertility negatively.

Reality: On the contrary, orchidopexy can help preserve fertility by positioning the testicles in the scrotum, where they can develop and function properly.

Myth: Recovery from orchidopexy is long and painful.

Reality: Most patients recover quickly from orchidopexy, with minimal discomfort that can be managed with pain relief measures.
