When one or both testicles do not descend into the scrotum at the normal time after birth, this is known as an \u201cundescended testis.\u201d<\/strong> This condition requires specialist follow-up, because early intervention improves future reproductive health<\/strong> and reduces long-term risks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is an undescended testis?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As the fetus grows month by month in the mother\u2019s womb, the two testicles initially form inside the abdomen<\/strong>. In the last third of pregnancy<\/strong>, they normally travel through a small opening in the abdominal wall, passing through the inguinal canal<\/strong> (a passage between the thigh and the scrotum), until they reach their normal position inside the scrotum<\/strong> beneath the penis. After that, the opening in the abdominal wall usually closes on its own. (If it does not close fully, this may later develop into an inguinal hernia<\/strong>.)<\/p>

Undescended testis is a common condition in children. It occurs in about 3 out of every 100<\/strong> babies born at full term, and the rate increases to about 30 out of every 100<\/strong> babies born prematurely. Most often, only one<\/strong> testicle fails to descend. In a smaller percentage (about 10%<\/strong>), both<\/strong> testicles fail to descend.<\/p>

It is usually detected during the baby\u2019s medical examination after birth. Most commonly, the testicle is in the inguinal canal<\/strong>, and in some cases it may be inside the abdomen<\/strong>. In such cases, the doctor often recommends waiting until the baby is 4\u20136 months old<\/strong> with regular follow-up, because the testicle may descend naturally as the child grows during that period.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
