Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Okay guys I have a delicate question for you. Micah has been to see a surgeon a couple of times because his testicles have not descended. My ped sent me when he was two (she found it right away buut waited until then saying it was time)> Both times I have gone the surgeon has put it off saying he thinks they might come down. Now two years later I have to go again. I am getting concerned about waiting because I don't know what the pain factor is with this surgery but would think the younger the better. Has anyone gone through this? I just don't want them to put him off thinking it is not important because he has DS> I don't know what to think as my ped said it should be done at two. What about it guys any info on this subject?? Loree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 --- Loree, probably time to have a good talk with your ped, and maybe suggest seeing someone else for a second opinion. It still may be okay for a wait and see approach, but as you say the operation will be harder for him, as he gets older. My way of thinking their is more the embarrsement factor rather than the pain. Keep smiling Jan , mother of Trent 20yo w/DS - now only 8 more sleeps. In , Loree5@a... wrote: > Okay guys I have a delicate question for you.
