What is Undescended Testis?

An undescended testis is a condition in which the testicle remains in the abdomen or groin rather than descending into the scrotum. It usually affects newborn boys, especially those born prematurely. While some testes descend naturally within the first few months, others require surgical correction.

Why is Treatment Important?

If left untreated, undescended testis can lead to:

  • Reduced fertility in adulthood

  • Increased risk of testicular cancer

  • Hernia or testicular torsion

  • Psychological or cosmetic concerns

  • Impaired testicular function

Early diagnosis and management are key to preserving long-term testicular health.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

  • Palpable mass in the groin (in some cases)

  • Laparoscopy (in certain cases for localization)
