A member asked:
What to do if i had an undescended testicle at birth but it never grew and now i can't check it!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a urologist: An undescended testicle (udt) should be corrected early in life, it is unclear to me if you had your udt corrected. Sometimes after surgery for an udt it can atrophy (decrease in size) or never grow normally (udt are not normal testicles). If your udt was not corrected or if is very small you should see your urologist to discuss your options.
