- A suspended testicle is a testicle that has not been allocated to it inside the skin cyst behind the penis before the birth of the male child - and also 2% to 5% of the total male births suffer from the suspended testicle in one or both testicles and the suspended testis is a phenomenon found in male children who were born Before the date of their birth or before the completion of 37 weeks of pregnancy, but the testicle suspended in the testicles together is a very rare phenomenon in most cases in which a male child is born with the phenomenon of the testicle suspended in one of his testicles or both.
The problem is solved by itself during the first months of the infant's life. If the child suffers from a disappearance of the testicle, then the problem can be addressed by surgery, during which the testicle is transferred to the scrotum.
As for the symptoms of an undescended testicle are: - Feeling of the testicle in its expected location in the scrotum is the main sign of the undescended testicle because the testes form inside the abdomen during fetal development and during the last two months of normal fetal growth the testes gradually descend from the abdomen via a tube-like path above the thigh called (Inguinal tunnel) to the scrotum - in the case of a suspended testicle, this process stops or is delayed
When is a doctor consulted? The undescended testicle is discovered when the infant undergoes the first physical examination after birth. In the event that the child is diagnosed with the disappearance of the testicle, it is necessary to ask the treating doctor about the periods during which the review is carried out with the doctor. Automatically and it is important to treat the disappearance of the testicle during the child being a baby because it reduces the risk of complications in advanced stages of his life such as infertility or testicular cancer
