Can a 10-year-old boy with undescended testicles and poor penile development be treated? Will he still be able to have children in the future?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, cryptorchidism can cause irreversible damage to the seminiferous tubules within the testis, is a common cause of orchitis, and must be treated. Surgery generally involves testicular traction and descent, with low risk. Active treatment is essential.
