Unmet testicles

Testicles not released. In some cases, in newborn boys, one or both testicles do not contain in the scrotum( a skin sac in which testicles are usually located), but remain deeper in the groin or abdomen. In most cases, undescended testicles soon after their birth take their normal place. In the vast majority of cases, the testicles descend during puberty, which on average begins in boys at thirteen. Only in a few cases does the testicles fall by themselves because of some obstacle or abnormal development.

The testicles form in the abdomen and descend into the scrotum just before birth. They are attached to the muscles, which can return them to the groin or even further into the abdomen. This is necessary to protect the testicles when this part of the body is subjected to a shock or a scratch. At many boys at the slightest touch testicles are involved. Cold enough when undressing so that they disappear in the abdomen. When during the examination they touch the scrotum, the testicles can also disappear from there. Therefore, parents should not consider that

testicles did not descend only because they simply can not be seen. It is necessary to look, without touching the boy's body, when he is in a hot bath.

Eggs that are visible in the scrotum, even rarely or for a short time, do not need treatment, because they will definitely descend into the scrotum during puberty.

Sometimes only one testicle did not descend. Although this may require treatment, there is no special reason for concern, because the boy has enough of one testicle to develop normally and become a father, even if the second testicle does not fall down later.

If one or both of the testicles have not dropped into the scrotum before the age of two, consult a doctor.

If you feel that the boy has undescended testicles, do not worry and try not to alarm the child. It is necessary not to worry the child with an anxious appearance and frequent examinations. Very harmful for the normal development of the boy, if it comes to his mind that he does not develop normally. If hormonal preparations are recommended, parents should talk about them without pressure, so as not to cause doubts in the child's mind.
