An undescended testicle, medically known as cryptorchidism, is a condition in which one or both testicles fail to move down into the scrotum before birth. The scrotum is the pouch of skin located beneath the penis that normally contains the testicles.
In most cases, only one testicle is affected, although both testicles may remain undescended in approximately 10% of affected children. While cryptorchidism is relatively uncommon among full-term infants, it is more frequently seen in babies born prematurely.
For the majority of infants, the undescended testicle naturally descends into the scrotum during the first few months of life without the need for treatment. However, if the testicle does not move into its proper position by itself, medical evaluation is recommended.
SymptomsNot seeing or feeling a testicle where you would expect it to be in the scrotum is the main sign of an undescended testicle.
Testicles form in the abdomen during fetal development. During the last couple of months of normal fetal development, the testicles gradually descend from the abdomen through a tube-like passageway in the groin (inguinal canal) into the scrotum. With an undescended testicle, that process stops or is delayed.
TreatmentIt can be done by Laparoscopic Orchiopexy & Open Orchiopexy Surgery.
