Is cryptorchidism common in children?

Patient's question:

My son is four years old. When he was born, all his physical examinations were normal, but I recently noticed that his testicles have retracted a bit. Hello, is it common for testicles to retract in children?

Doctor's answer:

Mom, this part of the baby also conforms to the phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction. Therefore, there is a slight retraction, which is perfectly normal! It is best to check in a timely manner whether there is any obvious faint condition in the scrotum. If there is, it can be ruled out as having a hidden testicle, and no special treatment is needed. Wishing you a speedy recovery of health.
