Patient's question:
Our son was recently born, but he has recently developed a minor health issue. It's that his testicles haven't descended, and we don't know what caused this. So, we want to ask what happens when a newborn's testicles don't descend?Doctor's answer:
When a child is born, if the testicles do not descend normally, it is called cryptorchidism, which means the testicles do not rise. This is related to the insufficient amount of hCG in the mother's blood, which fails to allow the child's testicles to move from the abdomen to the scrotum. This is also known as cryptorchidism. Surgical treatment can basically cure it. The earlier the surgery is performed, the better the outcome, preventing it from affecting the normal development of sperm in the child when he grows up.
