Suggest Treatment For Underdeveloped Scrotum In Baby
My one year old grandson appears to have an underdeveloped scrotum. The pediatrician says that his testicles are decending slowly but I believe that the area isn't large enough to hold his two testicles. Neither one is in the scrotum now. I hate to interfere but I believe that the parents need to see a pediatric urologist. What do you think?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your grand son is having undescended testes.
After one year if he testes have not descended in to srotum you have to see a pediatric surgeon.
If they are left inside the child may develop sterility or in some cases there may be malignant transformation.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
