undescended testicle
දෙමාපියන් වශයෙන්, අපට අවශ්ය වන්නේ අපගේ දරුවන්ගේ සෞඛ්යයට සහ සංවර්ධනයට හොඳම දේය. නොබැසුණු වෘෂණ (undescended testis) වැනි රෝග විනිශ්චයකට මුහුණ දෙන විට ප්රශ්න සහ සැකයන් ඇති වීම ස්වාභාවිකය. බොහෝ විට පැන නගින එක් ප්‍රශ්නයක් වන්නේ:
 

ශල්‍යකර්මය සඳහා හොඳම කාලය කවදාද යන්නයි.

 
බොහෝ අවස්ථාවන්හීදී, ළමා ශල්ය වෛද්යවරු, සාමාන්යයෙන් වයස මාස 6ත් 18ත් අතර කාලසීමාවේ ශල්යකර්ම නිර්දේශ කරති. මෙය පුදුම සහගත බවක් පෙනෙන්නට තිබුණත්, මෙම නිර්දේශය පිටුපස වැදගත් හේතු කිහිපයක් තිබේ. ඔබ දැනගත යුතු දේ මෙන්න:
 

සැත්කම වේලාසනින් කරනවිට ඇති ප්‍රතිලාභ:

 

1. වැඩිදියුණු කළ දරුපල ලැබීමේ හැකියාව:

 
අධ්යයනවලින් පෙන්නුම් කර ඇත්තේ මුල් සැත්කම් මගින් දරුවාගේ අනාගත සරු බව වැඩිදියුණු කළ හැකි බවයි. වැඩි කාලයක් උදරයේ උෂ්ණත්වයට නිරාවරණය වන නොබැසුණු වෘෂණ ශුක්රාණු නිෂ්පාදනයට අහිතකර ලෙස බලපෑ හැකිය. වෘෂණ කෝෂ නිසි ලෙස වර්ධනය විය හැකි වෘෂණ කෝෂය සිසිල් පරිසරයේ ඇති බව සහතික කිරීමට කලින් සැත්කම සිදු කිරීම උපකාරී වේ.
 

2. වෘෂණ පිළිකා ඇතිවීමේ අවදානම අඩු වීම:

 
දුර්ලභ, නොබැසුණු වෘෂණ කෝෂවලට ජීවිතයේ පසුකාලීනව පිළිකා ඇතිවීමේ අවදානම තරමක් වැඩි ය. වෘෂණ කෝෂය තුළට වෘෂණ කෝෂය පහළට ගෙන ඒම අනාගතයේදී පහසුවෙන් නිරීක්ෂණය කිරීමට සහ ස්වයං පරීක්ෂණයකට ඉඩ සලසයි.
 

3. වැඩිදියුණු කරන ලද හර්නියා අලුත්වැඩියාව:

 
සමහර විට, වෘෂණ කෝෂයක් පහලට ඒම සමඟ හර්නියා ඇති විය හැක. මුල් ශල්යකර්ම මගින් ගැටළු දෙකම එකවර විසඳා ගත හැකි අතර, ප්රකෘතිමත් වීමේ කාලය සහ විය හැකි සංකූලතා අවම කරයි.
 

4. ඉක්මන් සුවය:

 
වැඩිහිටි දරුවන්ට සාපේක්ෂව කුඩා දරුවන් ඉක්මනින් ශල්යකර්මයෙන් සුව වන අතර අඩු කාංසාවක් අත්විඳිති.
 

දෙමාපියන්ට ඇති ගැටළු:

 
දෙමව්පියන්ට ශල්යකර්මයක් භයානක දෙයක් විය හැකි බව අපි තේරුම් ගනිමු. මෙන්න අපට ඇසෙන පොදු ගැටළු කිහිපයක් සහ ඉක්මන් මැදිහත්වීම උපකාර කළ හැකි ආකාරය:
 

1. වේදනාව සහ ආතතිය:

 
නවීන ශල්ය ක්රම සහ වේදනා කළමනාකරණ උපක්රම ඔබේ දරුවාට අපහසුතා අවම කරයි.
 

2. දිගු කාලීන බලපෑම්:

 
මුල් සැත්කම් අවම ආක්රමණශීලී වන අතර සාමාන්යයෙන් සංකූලතා ඇතිවීමේ අවදානම ඉතා අඩුය. ඔබේ දරුවාගේ අනාගත සෞඛ්යය සඳහා වන ප්රතිලාභ අවදානමට වඩා බෙහෙවින් වැඩි ය.
 

3. මානසික බලපෑම:

 
ශල්යකර්මය ආතතියට පත් විය හැකි අතර, නොබැසෙන වෘෂණ කෝෂයක් ඔබේ දරුවාට පසුකාලීනව මානසික පීඩාවක් ඇති කළ හැකි බව මතක තබා ගැනීම වැදගත්ය. පූර්ව මැදිහත්වීම ආත්ම අභිමානය සහ ශරීර රූපය සමඟ අනාගත ගැටළු වළක්වා ගැනීමට උපකාරී වේ.
 

ඊළඟ පියවර:

 
ඔබේ දරුවාට නොබැසුණු වෘෂණ කෝෂ ඇති බව හඳුනාගෙන තිබේ නම්, ඔබේ සියලු ප්රශ්න සහ ගැටළු ඔබේ ළමා ශල්ය වෛද්යවරයා සමඟ සාකච්ඡා කරන්න. ඔවුන් ඔබේ දරුවාගේ නිශ්චිත රෝගයේ විස්තර සහ ශල්යකර්ම හොඳම ක්රියාමාර්ගය වන්නේ මන්දැයි පැහැදිලි කරනු ඇත. ඔබේ දරුවාගේ දිගුකාලීන සෞඛ්ය සහ යහපැවැත්ම සඳහා කල්තියා හඳුනා ගැනීම සහ ප්රතිකාර කිරීම ඉතා වැදගත් වේ.
 
මතක තබා ගන්න, ඔබ මෙයට මුහුණදෙන්නේ තනිවම නොවේ. අපගේ ළමා ශල්ය වෛද්යවරුන් කණ්ඩායම ඔබේ ප්රශ්නවලට පිළිතුරු දීමට, සහාය ලබා දීමට සහ ඔබේ දරුවාට හැකි හොඳම ප්රතිඵලය සහතික කිරීමට මෙහි සිටී.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Education Why Early Surgery Might Be Best for Your Child's Undescended Testicle

a child
undescended testicle

As parents, we want what’s best for our children’s health and development. When faced with a diagnosis like undescended testicle (undescended testis), it’s natural to have questions and concerns. One question that often arises is:

When is the best time for surgery?

In many cases, pediatric surgeons recommend early surgery, usually between 6 and 18 months of age. While this might seem surprising, there are several important reasons behind this recommendation. Here’s what you need to know:

Benefits of Early Surgery:

  • Improved Fertility Potential: Studies have shown that early surgery can improve a child’s future fertility. Undescended testicles exposed to higher abdominal temperatures for extended periods can negatively impact sperm production. Early intervention helps ensure the testicle is in the cooler environment of the scrotum where it can develop properly.
  • Reduced Risk of Testicular Cancer: While rare, undescended testicles have a slightly higher risk of developing cancer later in life. Bringing the testicle down into the scrotum allows for easier monitoring and self-examination in the future.
  • Improved Inguinal Hernia Repair: Sometimes, an undescended testicle can be accompanied by an inguinal hernia. Early surgery can address both issues simultaneously, minimizing recovery time and potential complications.
  • Shorter Recovery: Young children tend to bounce back from surgery quicker and experience less anxiety compared to older children.

Addressing Parental Concerns:

We understand that surgery can be a daunting prospect for parents. Here are some common concerns we hear and how early intervention can help:

  • Pain and Discomfort: Modern surgical techniques and pain management strategies minimize discomfort for your child.
  • Long-Term Effects: Early surgery is minimally invasive and generally has a very low risk of complications. The benefits for your child’s future health far outweigh the risks.
  • Emotional Impact: While surgery itself might be stressful, it’s important to remember that an undescended testicle can cause emotional distress for your child later in life. Early intervention helps prevent future issues with self-esteem and body image.

Next Steps:

If your child has been diagnosed with undescended testicle, discuss all your questions and concerns with your pediatric surgeon. They will explain the details of your child’s specific case and why early surgery might be the best course of action. Early detection and treatment are crucial for your child’s long-term health and well-being.

Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. Our team of pediatric surgeons is here to answer your questions, provide support, and ensure the best possible outcome for your child.

Helping Tiny Kidneys Drain Better: Pyeloplasty for Childhood Hydronephrosis

Kidneys are the amazing little organs that filter waste from our blood, producing urine. Urine then travels down thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. But sometimes, this drainage system can get blocked, especially in children. This blockage, at the junction of the kidney and ureter, is called Uretero-Pelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJO) and can lead to a condition called hydronephrosis.

Hydronephrosis simply means a swollen kidney. When urine can’t drain properly, it backs up into the kidney, causing it to enlarge. While this may not cause immediate symptoms, it can affect long-term kidney function if left untreated. Thankfully, there’s a surgical solution called pyeloplasty that can help children with hydronephrosis.
