Is undescended testicle not palpable?

Patient's question:

I noticed that my son's testicles seem a bit different from those of ordinary children. I want to know if undescended testicles mean that the testicles cannot be felt.

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the testicles should not be palpable. If this condition recurs, it can be accurately diagnosed through a detailed ultrasound examination. In some cases, it may be due to abnormal growth and development, or the testicles may be located in an abnormal position, which can lead to the recurrence of an abnormal hernia. Once the position of the testicles is identified, early surgical intervention can restore the situation to normal.
