A member asked:

I think i may have an inguinal hernia because of an undescended testicle?

Dr. Charles Breaux answered

Specializes in Pediatric Surgery

It is likely ...: That if you truly have an undescended testicle, you would have an inguinal hernia on the same side (~90% chance). The hernia would be repaired at the same time the testicle is brought down (orchiopexy).
