What is the condition where a testicle does not descend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cryptorchism: An embryonic abnormality when the testis or both, do not end up in the scrotum. Even after birth, some testes may descend. They can be high in the scrotum or all the way into the abdomen and not felt. These are usually found with CAT Scan. Treatment is either "down or out". Meaning, surgically place them down or remove them . The incidence of cancer of testis in undescended testis is high .
