Please tell me the onset of your problem... Is it undescended from your childhood or between one and ten years or after puberty?

Next Steps

Management of this problem in this age is difficult but some surgical options are there like testicular removal (orchidectomy) or surgery to bring the testis into the scrotum (orchidopexy).

Health Tips

Hormones are to blame for undescended testes, with different hormones being responsible for different stages of descent.
