  |
|
Can you please tell me how dangerous it is when a child’s testicles didn’t descend? I heard that these children are more prone to testicular cancers! My son is 3 months old and his testicles haven’t descended at all. Does this mean they won’t descend at all? Please, write as soon as possible

Testicles usually descend until the age of 1. Plenty of boys are born with undescended testicles, so it is not the time to worry about. IF your son’s testicles didn’t descend by age 1, you should taking him to a doc, so that he will have them surgically descended. If this happens, you need to talk about this with your son when he is old enough to understand. When he reaches puberty, he won’t be talking to you about his down health problems anymore and he may experience problems. Yes, you heard well. Boys with undescended testicles are more prone to testicular cancer than others.
