Is normal reproductive life possible for a child with undescended testis - Dr. Shaheena Athif

Testis development is usually complete after 30 -32 weeks of gestation and it is usually taking place in the abdomen. At birth 70% of the male babies, the testis has descended into the scrotum. Very less number of kids or the testis is undescended, in 6 months to 1 year they may descend back to the scrotum. If it is not descended and if it is not treated after 6 months, then this will affect the germ cell maturation inside the testis. When the child is becoming an adult, the number of spermatozoa which sis present in the semen will be lesser and this may result in infertility. And undescended testis if not treated, it can lead to testicular torsion, that is twisting of the testis. Also they have a high incidence of testicular cancer. So undescended testis is testicular torsion considered as an emergency in a male child and it has to be treated so that infertility does not happen later on in life.
