Orchiopexy
What Exactly Is Orchiopexy?
Testicles typically drop into the scrotum prior to birth. However, in some cases, one or both testicles fail to descend. When undescended testicles in babies are not resolved, it can lead to various life-altering issues later.
To solve this problem, a skilled urologist like Dr. Herrera will perform the surgical procedure known as orchiopexy. Orchiopexy surgery is ideally performed on a child between six to twelve months of age, however, the surgery can also be a treatment for adults who never had their testicle issue solved as a child.
Why a Child Needs Orchiopexy
Undescended testicles can increase the risk of developing serious medical problems, namely:
Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer for males aged 15 to 35. In some cases, it can be life-threatening.
Infertility
Infertility could cause your child to be unable to have a child of their own once they reach adulthood.
Hernias
Hernias in the groin can cause pain and discomfort, and even life-threatening emergencies when blood flow is cut off.

Dr. Herrera , has been awesome! The only Dr that really cared about me and walked thru how my surgery would be. He kept us informed by calling, emailing thru the whole process. I live in the states but I drove hours to see him for my reversal procedure and it was a full success. Some might be afraid of going to Mexico to have any kind of medical , but it was the best thing I did.
I truly recommend Dr Herrera for any of your needs. Thank you Dr. your awesome

Our surgical treatment can prevent serious issues for your child.
Postoperative Care
Our team will provide in-depth resources to assist you with postoperative care for your child. Key aspects will likely include proper diet, nutrition, bathing information, activity approvals, and schedules for pain medication.
Typically, we recommend that patients limit their food and liquid intake to clear fluids for the first few hours. If you see that your child is handling the clear liquids well, a light diet consisting of soup, applesauce, or hot cereal may be administered after a few hours. Your child should be able to return to their normal diet the following day.
Have You Already Been Diagnosed With Cancer?

Being diagnosed with prostate cancer can be traumatic, but the typical prognosis is positive. Prostate cancer can be worsened due to the testosterone produced by the testicles. Dr. Herrera can perform an orchidectomy to remove the testicles, thereby lowering the testosterone level in the body. This option is preferred by some men because it consists of a single procedure rather than repeated injections for treatment.
