A member asked:

If a 2 yr old boy's testicles have not come down yet will it cause him to be sterile and when should he have surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soon: It is important to have this evaluated soon & if verified, have the testis brought down if possible. Most try to have this done between 6-12m. Undescended testis will over time have a negative effect on fertility & are known to increase difficulty of detecting testicular cancer.
