What is the reason why one of the baby's testicles has not descended?

Patient's question:

Baby has been born for half a month, no testicle on the left side, missed during ultrasound examination, please ask the doctor what is the reason why the baby's one testicle has not descended

Doctor's answer:

According to the described situation, it is cryptorchidism, and further careful examination is needed to determine if there is truly no contralateral testis or if the testis is in the abdomen without ascending. The spontaneous descent of the testis typically occurs within three months after birth, and if it has not ascended, treatment should be implemented within 6 to 12 months. Male urological conditions tend to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, male patients should immediately seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
