What Are The Problems Associated When One Does Not Have Any Testicles?
Hi there, I would like to know what are problems associated when one does not have any testicles. I had recently gone to an adoption agency and one of the child there was born without any testicles and he is two years old now. I was wondering what are the problems that he might face due to this. Would much appreciate some help with this topic. Thanks Thomas

Hi,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
the condition is known as cryptorchid.
the child should be examined by urosurgeon and should be under treatment that will need operation to bring the testes in normal position .
you may please discuss with surgeon regarding it .
the type operation will depend on the position of testes .
It will be best for the child to be treated early to prevent complications related to undescened testes.
the adoption center should be informed about it for the child's normal life
