For example, if a band of fibrous tissue is blocking the testicles' descent into the scrotum, the tissue must be removed surgically. If the ligament that supports the testicles is too short, it can be lengthened. Sometimes during surgery the doctor will find that the ligament needs to grow more before it can be surgically lengthened and will re-perform the surgery several months later. Surgery is also necessary if the condition is accompanied by an inguinal hernia , a common complication in which a loop of intestine pushes its way down toward or even down into the scrotum. As complicated as they may sound, these are minor outpatient procedures that require no hospital stay.
Hormone therapy stimulates the testes to make more testosterone.
This treatment is effective in about 20 percent of all cases, with the best chance of success in testes that are already pretty low. If hormone therapy is unsuccessful, doctors will resort to surgery. Testicles don't seem to mature normally when they aren't in the scrotum, so undescended testicles can increase your child's risk of developing testicular cancer and infertility later in life if left in place for more than two years, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. In very rare cases, an undescended testicle can twist, cutting off its own blood supply and causing pain in the groin or scrotum. I just want to know within how many years should this case be treated and what will happen if nothing is done within the period.
