i had ascending testicle problem since birth and i got it operated when i was a child. doc pulled it down to where it should suppose to be. but now with the passage of time .. i am 25 years old now... i observed that it is slipped back to where it was earlier... i.e upside (ascending) its also small in size...
i am very much worried... some expert please help me and tell me what abnormalities i may suffer from with this ascending testicle. and do i have to get it operated once again ???

Ascending Testis
An ascending testicle has been described recently in which a previously documented descended scrotal testis later comes into an extrascrotal position. This is a result of a delayed resorption of the processus vaginalis and a "pulling up" of the testicle. The affected testis feels tethered and cannot be manipulated into a dependent scrotal position. Ninety-eight percent of ascended testes are associated with a patent processus vaginalis and, therefore, a potential inguinal hernia and surgical correction is necessary.
