Undescended testicles can be treated with hormone therapy or surgery to bring the testicles down into the scrotum. The fertility of patients with undescended testicles depends on the time of treatment. The later the diagnosis and treatment, the lower the chance of having children.

Undescended testicles can occur in 3% to 4% of children at birth. Many families find that their children have undescended testicles but wait until they are adults to examine and perform surgery. This is completely wrong because leaving the testicles in the abdomen for a long time is not good. So when should surgery be performed on children with undescended testicles?

Post-operative care for undescended testicles plays an important role in your child’s recovery. Parents also need to take their child for regular check-ups so that the doctor can monitor and evaluate the function of the testicles.

In cases where one or both testicles do not descend into the scrotum but remain in the abdomen or only partially descend, this is called cryptorchidism in children. If left untreated, this condition can lead to reproductive problems and testicular cancer.

Undescended testicles are a common congenital abnormality of the reproductive system in boys. If the disease is not detected and treated early, it can cause loss of testicular function and even cause testicular cancer later on.
