Hello!
Testicles on the side are small and irregular, which is a condition where the size of the two testicles is not equal, possibly due to physiological or pathological causes. This condition is quite common in boys with an incidence of 1 in 1000.
If the cause is pathological, the cause is usually because one testicle grows outside the scrotum, inside the body even though the baby is not yet born. Surgical intervention in these cases is very important because undescended testicles are very susceptible to damage due to overheating of the body's internal temperature, which can easily lead to serious complications such as male infertility or even male infertility. testicular cancer.
Children with this undescended testicle have a 2.5 times higher risk of testicular cancer along with a 20% reduced chance of having children if not treated promptly. Caused by heated sperm in the body is likely to be damaged or mutated, the longer the accumulation time, the more severe the sequelae.
