Question
There is only one testicle in the scrotum, with normal secondary sex development. There is no discomfort, and another smaller testicle can be felt in the abdomen.
Answer
Undescended testicle refers to a condition where, after birth, one or both testicles fail to descend from their normal descending path and remain at any point along it. If the patient has adolescent undescended testicle, timely orchidopexy should be performed; if during surgery it is found that the testicle has atrophied or cannot be descended into the scrotum, orchidectomy may be necessary. Although unilateral undescended testicle patients have one testicle in the scrotum, their fertility may be affected, and it is recommended to seek treatment early.
