Is only one testicle cryptorchid?

Patient's question:

Only one testicle, but it does not affect fertility, mainly affects psychology. Is this cryptorchidism? Can it still be attached?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on your description of the condition, this is a typical case of cryptorchidism. You should visit the urology department of a hospital and have an ultrasound examination to check whether the testicle is in the abdomen or the pubic symphysis. In short, it needs to be located, as it is usually not absent. At this age, it is not very meaningful to pull it down. There is a certain possibility of malignancy in the abdomen, so it is recommended to have it removed. After the examination and confirmation, you can decide on the next steps!
