Summary
Cryptorchidism is a medical condition in which one or both testicles have not descended into the scrotum. Undescended testes can be palpable in the abdominal or inguinal region. Cryptorchidism can be diagnosed during an ultrasound exam before birth. If it is not diagnosed before birth, it may be detected during a physical exam shortly after birth. Boys with cryptorchidism may have problems with fertility later in life.
