A member asked:
Is it possible that my son was born with just one testicle?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: It is possible. He should be evaluated by a pediatric urologist. He may have a retractile testicle, an undescended testicle or testicular agenesis.

Maybe: For that to happen, some event during pregnancy would have cut off the blood supply and it just self destructed.Testes originate near the kidneys and travel a lot during pregnancy. It is more likely still present somewhere between the lower abdomen and its proper position in the scrotum.An ultrasound can sometimes locate it.Then a pediatric urologist can retrieve and move it down.
