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
Empty or underdeveloped scrotum
Palpable mass in the groin (in some cases)
Asymmetry of the scrotum
Diagnosis involves:
Physical examination
Ultrasound or MRI (if testicle is not palpable)
Laparoscopy (in certain cases for localization)
Treatment: Orchiopexy Surgery in Ghaziabad
Ideal age for surgery: Between 6 to 12 months of age
