A member asked:
I have a retractile testicle in my left side do i need a surgery to prevent future problems ? or its reccomended to go with other solutions ?

Undescended?: If you have an undescended testis, it should probably be removed to avoid cancer in the future. If it's simply high riding, nothing needs to be done. Ask your primary care doctor if it referral to a urologist is appropriate. Hope this helps!
