Why Is Testicle Not Visible In New Born Boy?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I just had a baby boy that all seems to be well with, but we (and the doctor) cant feel his testicles anywhere. I had one undesended testicle that was brought down by surgery when i was five. Surely they are there some where, right?

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having un-descended testes having scrotal empty.
Many a time there might be having swelling in inguinal region due to presence of testes there.
By the end of six months they might descend and if not then Orchidopexy operation should be done.
Now due to new modern technology diagnostic laparoscopy can be done after six months.
Consult pediatric surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
