Cryptorchidism

Cryptotestis refers to a deformed state in which the bilateral or unilateral testicles do not fall into the scrotum 2 months after the baby is born. Cryptotestis is classified into true cryptorchidism and pseudo cryptorchidism. Cryptotestis is one of the most common congenital malformations in children with genitourinary system. It is mostly unilateral, with the right side not descending. About 15% are bilateral. The incidence of premature babies is about 30%. When cryptorchidism remains in the abdominal cavity or inguinal canal for a long time, the influence of "high temperature" in the receptor can easily cause male infertility.
