Undescended testicle is a condition in which one or both testes fail to move into the scrotum before birth. The scrotum is a sac behind the penis which holds both testes. The medical name for this condition is known as cryptorchidism. In the majority of the cases, only one testicle fails to descend to its normal position. This is more often seen among boys who are born prematurely. However, this condition does not last for a long time. After one to three months of birth, the affected testes descend to their normal position. If that does not happen within the first few months of birth, consult a medical expert for further help.
