POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. "Vanished testis" refers to a condition where one or both testicles are undetectable, often because they did not descend properly or may have atrophied due to a lack of blood supply (testicular regression syndrome). Treatment for a vanished or undescended testicle varies based on factors such as age and underlying causes. Here’s an overview of typical approaches:
1. Imaging and Diagnosis: An ultrasound or MRI may be performed to confirm if the testicle is truly absent or located in the abdomen or inguinal canal.
2. Surgery (Exploratory Laparoscopy): If the testicle isn’t detectable through imaging, exploratory laparoscopy might be recommended. If found, surgery can bring the testicle into the scrotum (orchiopexy) or, if non-functional, remove it.
3. Hormone Testing and Therapy: If both testicles are affected, hormone testing might be required. Hormone therapy may also be considered to ensure normal puberty and development.
4. Prosthesis Option: In cases where the testicle is absent or non-functional, some opt for a testicular prosthesis for cosmetic purposes.
Consulting with a pediatric or urologic specialist can provide a tailored treatment approach based on the individual’s case. Early treatment is often advised to prevent complications.
