Most of the time: Most retractile testes (those that move back and forth from the groin to the scrotum) will eventually stay down in the scrotum BUT 25 percent of the time they remain in the groin (called ascending testicle) and must be teated either surgically or with hormonal therapy See MAYO Clinic http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/retractile-testicle/basics/definition/con-20024856
