Undescended Testicle

Back

An undescended testicle (cryptorchidism) is a testicle that hasn't moved into its proper position in the bag of skin hanging below the penis (scrotum) before birth. Usually just one testicle is affected, but about 10 percent of the time both testiclesare undescended.

SYMPTOMS

There is usually only one sign that a boy has an undescended testicle. The scrotum appears underdeveloped or smaller on the affected side. In rare cases, the undescended testicle can become twisted (testicular torsion), causing severegroin pain. To control this pain indian origin medicine is in practice. Majority of the cases are been cured.

CAUSES

This is because boys with untreated undescended testicles can have fertility problems in later life and an increased risk of developing testicular cancer. Treatment will usually involve an operation called an orchidopexy to move the testicle(s) into the correct position inside the scrotum. But india has got medicines to set them right through oral & external treatment.
