Cryptorchidism is a condition in which one or both testicles do not descend into the scrotum before birth. Usually, when a baby boy is growing inside the uterus, testes grow in the stomach, then down through channels in the groin comes to rest in the scrotum, skin sack behind the penis, but failed to go down either partially or totally, remain in the stomach or somewhere in the Strait between the abdomen and scrotum. There is an increased risk of developing testicular torsion, a painful condition that can kill the testes, as well as a higher risk of a Hernia groin and testicular cancer. People who are born with an undescended testicle may also have low fertility later in life. Although there is no direct complications, health problems can happen later in life, are more prone to the problem, because it's trapped inside the warm core of the body and can not set the temperature of the scrotum.
Undescended Testes is the one that remains in the body and do not move down into the scrotum. Usually the testicle, which form inside the belly of the unborn baby boy, down into the pouch below the penis (scrotum) at the time the baby is born. One or both testes may be affected. Case of undescended testicles can be debilitating and extend the inguinal hernia kanalis, allows developing in the lower abdomen. Typically kanalis testicles of the journey enables the inguinal scrotal pouch, and then shut down almost completely. With the weakening of the inguinal canal testicles that fail to get off, or just come down in the Middle, the remaining Part is susceptible to the pressure put on the bowel straining during a bowel movement or do the heavy lifting--which can lead to a hernia.
If the testicles are not in the scrotum, doctors will lightly hit the baby's skin to try to find it. If the testes in inguinal kanalis, doctors may try to move it gently into the scrotum. If the doctor can't feel, they may order the ultrasound to find non-invasively. Laparoscopy or open surgery may be recommended, particularly if the testicle further in the stomach and can not be achieved by hand, and involves a small Incision in the abdomen to look for and help baby down the testes. If the problem has not been corrected by the time your child is 4 months, surgery may be necessary. Undescended testicles while treating Your child's infancy can reduce the risk of complications later in life. Men have an increased risk of testicular torsion, the formation of the hernia, testicular cancer and infertility, usually only one testis is affected, but it is possible for both to be undescended.
