We can discover the undescended testicle when an infant undergoes a first physical examination after birth
In the event that the child is found to have disappeared the testicle, you should inquire with the attending physician about the periods for which the doctor should be examined to examine the child.
And if the undescended testicle continues outside the scrotum when the child reaches the sixth month of age, the problem is not likely to be resolved automatically
It is important to treat the disappearance of the testicle while the child is still a baby because it reduces the risk of complications in advanced stages of his life such as infertility or testicular cancer.
The risks of hanging testicle in children:
A suspended testicle in children is associated with a number of problems such as:
Fertility problems: Because sperms need to be cooler than the rest of the body, and the problem grows in the event that both testicles are suspended, but for early treatment it is possible to make a big difference.
Hernia: a condition in which part of the intestine protrudes through the lower abdominal muscles.
Injury: The testicle is not in place and it is likely that it is damaged.
Cancer: Men who have an undescended testicle are more likely to develop testicular cancer even if they have surgery to treat them, so we advise them to regularly check up for a possible early tumor and treat it.
Fertile sprain: It occurs when the testicle twists, causing the spermatic cord to move into the scrotum.
