Patient's question:
Is the baby's testicle not descended?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a male infant is born without any testicles, it is likely to be cryptorchidism. In this case, an abdominal ultrasound should be performed for a thorough examination. Cryptorchidism generally requires surgical treatment before the age of 2, otherwise, there may be a risk of cancer later in life, and it can also interfere with the boy's future fertility. If it is congenital absence of testicles, it may be due to a sex chromosome abnormality, and there is no treatment for this condition.
