What should be done if a child has one undescended testicle?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello:
The child's one testicle hasn't descended since birth. I heard that surgery is required. Is there any other method besides surgery? If not, at what age is it suitable for the child to undergo surgery? How much pain can the child endure? Could you also provide more information about the surgery? The child is currently 5 months old.
Thank you!!

Doctor's answer:

It is advisable to have the surgery as early as possible, generally around the age of one!
