Doctor's answer:

Hello: There is no impact, no need to worry. Unilateral cryptorchidism mostly does not affect sexual life and fertility. If the undescended testicle on one side can be surgically corrected in a timely manner and the testicle is normal, it can be returned to the scrotum. If it is abnormal, it needs to be surgically corrected in a timely manner, otherwise, if left for too long, the undescended testicle may develop abnormalities. The treatment method for cryptorchidism is orchiopexy, which involves placing the testicle into the scrotum. If the other testicle is functioning normally, it will not affect fertility. It is recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment at a regular, professional hospital.
