Cryptorchidism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cryptorchidism is a condition present from birth in which one or both testicles do not descend to their usual position in the scrotum. It is often detected in the first months of life.
How it is identified: during a baby's exam, one or both testicles are found not to be in their expected place within the scrotum.
Why follow up on it? It is a condition worth monitoring early to properly support the child's development.
The pediatrician usually identifies this situation during checkups, and the urologist or the pediatric surgeon provides the specialized evaluation. If you have questions about your child's development, the best thing is to discuss them in a consultation with a professional who examines each case.
