What is Undescended Testis?

Undescended testicles are a common childhood condition where a boy's testicles are not in their usual place in the scrotum. It's estimated about 1 in every 25 boys are born with undescended testicles.

Boys with hypospadias can sometimes have a curved penis. They could have problems with abnormal spraying of urine and might have to sit to urinate. In some boys with hypospadias, the testicle has not fully descended into the scrotum.

  • Edema.
  • Fistula.
  • Skin necrosis.
  • Flap necrosis.
  • Penile torsion.
  • Bleeding and hematoma.
  • Wound infection.
  • Wound dehiscence.

The causes of hypospadias in most infants are unknown. In most cases, hypospadias is thought to be caused by a combination of genes and other factors, such as things the mother comes in contact with in her environment, or what the mother eats or drinks, or certain medications she uses during pregnancy.

Although the cause of hypospadias is usually unknown, these factors may be associated with the condition:

  • Family history. This condition is more common in infants with a family history of hypospadias.
  • Genetics. Certain gene variations may play a role in disruption of the hormones that stimulate formation of the male genitals.
  • Maternal age over 35. Some research suggests that there may be an increased risk of hypospadias in infant males born to women older than 35 years.
  • Exposure to certain substances during pregnancy. There is some speculation about an association between hypospadias and a mother's exposure to certain hormones or certain compounds such as pesticides or industrial chemicals, but further studies are needed to confirm this.

The strategy to prevent hypospadias should be focused on (1) identifying genetic susceptibility prior to pregnancy and (2) identifying and eliminating exposure to potential toxic endocrine disruptors that effect urethral development.

Hypospadias repair is a surgery that corrects the position of the urethra on your penis. It may be a one- or two-stage procedure, depending on severity. The procedure may take up to two hours to complete. Risks include bruising, infection, swelling, fistulas, and shortening of your penis

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

Orchidopexy. In most cases, if the testicle can be felt in the groin, a simple orchidopexy can be performed. This involves first making a cut (incision) in the groin to locate the undescended testicle. The testicle is then moved downwards and repositioned in the scrotum through a second incision.
