Will eating indiscriminately during pregnancy affect the child's fertility?

"Can't figure it out, the child is fine, why is there no egg?

I thought it was my problem, and when I was four months pregnant, I stole a pine egg and secretly drank a cup of coffee. ”

In the hit drama "Our Day", Li Xiaoran's words brought the problem of cryptorchidism to the hot search.

When boys are young, parents are most concerned about two issues, one is growing taller, and the other is fertility.

But paradoxically, parents care but don't know much.

Just like in the comment area of this hot search, many parents said that they knew for the first time and increased their knowledge.

Of course, there are also those who have understood or experienced it, knowing that cryptorchidism is a developmental problem, and it is good to see a doctor.

But to sum up, parents are inevitably anxious in terms of children's reproduction and reproduction, afraid that this kind of thing will happen to their own family treasure.

So:

How did cryptorchidism come about? Is it related to drinking coffee and eating pine eggs when Bao's mother was pregnant?

How can I find out if my child has cryptorchidism?

Can cryptorchidism be cured? Will it affect my child's fertility?

Today, HKUST will talk to you carefully.

Such as drinking coffee, eating pine eggs, eating spicy strips, eating popsicles, these will not cause the child cryptorchidism.

Only 2 conditions are related to pregnant mothers. That is:

！ Abnormal hormone levels in the pregnant mother's body (exposure to estrogen, estrogen-like things during pregnancy)

！ Smoking and drinking during pregnancy

！ Premature birth is due to a number of reasons

Like the mother in the TV series, if there is no bad behavior, don't take the responsibility on yourself.

In addition, male infants with a family history of cryptorchidism may also develop cryptorchidism.

You don't have to worry, after the birth of the child, there is generally child health care and regular examination. If there is an abnormality, the doctor will inform the parents.

There are some areas where inspections are not done carefully or are not regularly checked. Parents can check for themselves:

Touch! One! Under!

If you can touch it, of course, everyone is happy.

If you can't touch it, don't panic. There are 2 normal and 1 abnormal condition.

The baby will have a process of descending from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum, and by the ninth month of pregnancy, the testicles will descend.

So it is normal for newborn babies to not touch eggs.

However, if the scrotum is still empty for two or three months, he or she needs to be prepared for medical attention, and the indication for surgery will not be reached before it falls after four months.

This is generally a retracted testicle in which the egg comes out when the body temperature is high, protecting the sperm from high temperatures.

When the weather is cold, the "egg" will retract into the body. This does not need to be treated, just wait for the child to grow up.

This kind of egg lost one or all of them is basically cryptorchidism, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for urological examination. (One big and one small, also pay attention to medical treatment)

And the sooner the better!!!

Cryptorchidism will not only have a greater impact on the child's spirit and psychology. It can also affect fertility and even become cancerous!

Treatment of cryptorchidism is generally hormonal therapy and surgery. However, hormones can affect your child's health, so surgery is now more recommended.

It's just that the operation should be analyzed according to the age of the child and the specific problem.

→ Newborn babies: observe first

→ 6 months to 1 and a half years: surgery

Depending on the child's condition of cryptorchidism, some only need one time, and some need several times. But don't worry, just follow your doctor's advice.

Parents should pay more attention to the situation after surgery.

(1) Regular review: Because children who have undergone cryptorchidism surgery, the incidence of testicular malignant tumors is higher than that of normal people.

And there is testicular retraction after surgery, so regular review after surgery is very good! Heavy! Want!

Parents can also touch it when they think about it. (Mainly to see if there is an abnormality that hardens, becomes larger, and disappears)

(2) 100% fertility cannot be guaranteed:

Whether you can give birth or not, it is unknown. Doctors can't guarantee what the probability is. It can only be said that there is hope and do not give up.

(3) Pay extra attention to your child's mental health:

Last time the knowledge point of science popularization, many parents said that as long as they are healthy, it doesn't matter if they can give birth or not.

It is good that everyone has this idea, and it is even more important to pass this concept on to children.

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the case of cryptorchidism in "Our Day", the boy was pointed at from childhood to adulthood, and the whole family was even more ashamed of it.

So that when the boy grows up, he studies and works well, but he always has low self-esteem and cannot raise his head because of this disease.

People themselves are fragile, everyone will get sick, there will be sequelae of different situations, do not be ashamed of the disease.
