About Undescended Testis in New Delhi

Undescended testis, medically known as cryptorchidism, is a condition in which one or both testicles fail to move down into the scrotum before birth, remaining instead in the abdomen or groin. It is one of the most common congenital conditions affecting male infants, particularly those born prematurely, and while many cases resolve spontaneously within the first few months of life as the testicle continues to descend naturally, those that do not descend by around six months typically require treatment. Leaving the condition uncorrected increases the long-term risk of reduced fertility and testicular cancer, making timely evaluation and treatment important.
