A member asked:
My son is 2 years old and his left tescticle is in the inguinal canal. shall we wait for it to drop down or have him to have a surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to surgeon: The risk of an undescended testicle being normal is increasingly remote the longer it is left in the canal. I would talk to pediatric urologist about treatment options.
