A member asked:
Is there an alternative for surgery for a 2 year old with prescrotal testicles?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
See below: No. If these are truly undescended testicles, then surgery is the only option.

undescend testicles: Yes , you may try HCG treatment which require several injections with a succes rate of 30%.

Not an effective one: Course of painful intramuscular HCG injections works in a few cases, however 50% of these recur, hence i recommend surgery by an experienced pediatric urologist or pediatric surgeon.
