child born without testicles

Hello, read your post from 2014 about your son. My grandson who is 8 yrs now, was born with no testicles. How is your son doing at this point, getting a little older now? My grandson is having a problem with his weight. Over the last couple of years he has gained a lot of weight. His mother hasn't followed up with this problem so I'm not sure if this is related or not. Just very concerned and hoping someone out there will read this post and maybe know more about this issue. I hope your son is doing well with no problems! :)

Hi, I'm Sule, my son (1year old) was born with an undescended testicles, the initial scan which was carried out one month later before the surgery showed the testicles was there but after the surgery it was discovered the testicles was not at the exact position the scanned showed it was located, the surgeon said he only saw the string but the testicles was not there. What must have happened within one month to change what was discovered on the scan and also possible solutions to this problem cos I'm devastated . Thanks.

My husband is 30 and was born without testes as well. He would love to talk to someone that has been living with the same condition. Let me know if you'd be willing to connect - it would mean a lot!

I'm so greatful first off for your comment. Secondly I'm worried to death about my son now going through puberty at school. He has been. Outcastred as he doesn't seem to fit in. Did the testosterone make you feel a little more whole? I just want him to be happy and lately he's been so depressed.

Hi Kate I wpuldike to connect with you if possible. My son's a teenager and going through a lot right now any help and support is greatly appreciated

My uncles son age 2yrs has the problem of no testicles into the place .I need advice what to do step by step

I'm born without testicles. I am 20 years old boy and don't have testicles since my birth. Are there any hope for me?

This happened to my 1 1/2 year old son Theodore as well and it breaks our hearts. It’s hard to know where to go from here but know that at least you’re not alone.

How could we create a support group ? Outside of this forum, I do read that so many people, myself included, need to share their stories and support one another. As the matter is pretty private, let's try to find a solution to keep it between us and create this group we need.

should undescended testicle be removed else it cause cancer in a healthy person? I have only one testis, which is undescended above scrotum.

My son is now 24, he was 21 months when I found out both testicles were gone. I have done a lot of research for years and years. I even found a support group called 2 x warrior for adult males who lost their testicles for one reason or another.

I struggled about having prosthetics put in, most males I spoke to in person or online said it was the right thing to do in their opinion. His Urologist who I loved and still do, said his skin was so tight we would need to use a testosterone cream to put on the sacs that would hold the testicles to stretch the skin, and that he should have it done at about age 9 or 10.

My dilemma was do I have the prosthetics put in because he didn't understand about being an adult and having relationships, or losing the chance to have them at all. For all the years I was tormented about it. My son told me the real reason was because he was afraid of surgery. I opted to have the surgery for him.

There were problems with the testicles somewhat, sometimes they would pull on the sac a bit. My son didn't like they way they felt, so when he turned 18 we had them removed. Honestly, he is much happier that way.

To the question about "If that was done,will he be able to have orgasm and ejaculate like normal men?" He will be able to with our without the surgery.

It was heart wrenching for me because there was not support for parents of kids with this condition. I still don't see an actual group.

My son when he was at the age of getting his first testosterone shots, his voice changed extremely fast.

He has to take the shots weekly or bi-weekly depending on if he wants it Subcutaneous or Intramuscular. There is also a patch ( my son didn't like it), and a roll on form. Axiron - my son didn't like that either. He started with the subcutaneous weekly, but ended up using the intramuscular bi-weekly instead.

Things will work out for them. Adoption or artificial insemination by another donor.

I didn't raise my son to focus negatively on his differences and feel sorry for himself. He has other medical problems ( not testicle related) I nipped that in the bud. I taught him to focus on the positive. It's okay to be different. Also, it in the long run was a plus that any relations he had, they were understanding.

It will all be okay. By the time the boy has grown there may be a breakthrough. If not he will come out fine with love, support, and nurturing.
