Question
If a newborn male baby only has one testicle and has red spots on his body, and also vomits, what is the matter?
Answer
An ultrasound of the scrotum is needed to confirm whether it is cryptorchidism. If it is cryptorchidism, the testicle should be explored and located within the abdominal cavity, and then surgically removed to avoid possible malignancies in the future. Generally, unilateral cryptorchidism does not affect future fertility.
