Does only one testicle affect his future growth and development?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Born with only one testicle.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, based on your description, I suspect that your child has unilateral cryptorchidism.
Guidance: Unilateral cryptorchidism does not mean only one testicle is present; the other one is still in the abdomen and has not descended. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination at a regular hospital's urology or andrology department. If surgery is needed before the child's development, it should be done to avoid affecting the child's development and potential infertility in the future. Additionally, the undescended testicle may be at risk of strangulation and necrosis.
