In those cases, the options would be surgical exploration of the abdomen or laparoscopy. We prefer laparoscopy, and when we do find a testes in the abdomen, we are able to bring it down using laparoscopic minimally invasive techniques. We recommend surgery because the testes need to be in the scrotum and function. My son is eight and still wets the bed frequently. So I would say that at the age of 8, then that is a problem and should be investigated further.
Incontinence is simply involuntary wetting.
Bedwetting is a form of incontinence, which is very common and usually easily treated. If a child has daytime incontinence that may indicate a more complex problem such as a dysfunctional voiding disorder. In general I would say that any older child that has daytime wetting or other problems such as infections and problems with bowel incontinence deserves further evaluation. In general, the question of whether or not the testicles will function normally will have to wait until the age of puberty, although in selective cases there are tests that can be done to evaluate testicular function in childhood. Daddy like any father can t stand to see her in pain.
