Undescended testicle syndrome. Cryptorchidism. The doctor elaborates

In intrauterine life, the testicles of male children are formed in the abdominal cavity and descend into the scrotum during development.

According to Narek Aloyan, a surgeon at the Children's Surgery Clinic of Muratsan hospital complex, in case of cryptorchidism, the descent of the testicle is not complete, and the testicle or testicles may remain in the abdominal cavity, at any level of the inguinal tube, or generally descend in an anatomically incorrect place (above the inguinal tube, in the thigh, in Sheki regions, etc.).

According to the doctor, you should pay attention to:

the absence of a testicle or testicles in the scrotum,

empty testicle underdevelopment.

Surgery is indicated for cryptorchidism and cryptotomy.

The operation is performed from 6 months to 1 year.

The specialist emphasizes that in order to notice the mentioned changes in the face, it is necessary to consult a pediatric surgeon.
