Is There Chances For Retraction Or Strangle In Early Age In Testicle Of Child?
My 6 month old son was born with both testicles, I noticed that I have not seen them in more than 3 weeks - thought it was just cold when changing his nappy etc. but I cant find them either.? Have they retracted or can they strangle themselves at this early age when they have already decsended?

Many thanks.
You are right it is called retractile testis.It means they are well descened but due to strong cremasteric reflus ascends up in cold waether.it is normal phenomenon.
Advice.
Check the testis in the warm enviroment during sleep.
If still missing then show to the pedaitric surgeon for further assessment.
