The hydrocele has been identified for 1 year and has not resolved. He had many pediatric exams which never identified the testes issue before. Is it likely it descended before and then retracted?
The newest diagnosis is the testes issue. The recommendation from the Dr. in China is hormone therapy to see if it resolves prior to surgery. Is this treatment appropriate or common for a young toddler of 2 1/2 yrs old?
If surgery is required for both issues, can both be corrected in one operation?

Hormone treatment for such problems at 1-2 years is not at all common.In fact surgery is commonly done with minimal or no side effects and very good results.Its a small procedure requiring just 24 hours stay in hospital
