| | Undescended testicle |
 | | About 5% of patients with undescended testicles do not have testicles that can be found at the time of surgery. | | | This occurs because of the strength of the muscular reflex (cremasteric reflex) that retracts the testicles and the small mass of the testicles before puberty. | | | Undescended testicles are fairly common in premature infants, and occur in about 3 to 4% of full-term infants. |

| | Because the nerves relaying sensitivity and pain from the testicle go alongside the vas deferens, and irritation or infection of the vas may cause irritation of the nerves and thus cause pain which seems to located in the testicle, although the testicle itself is no affected. | | | The 'construction' involved in keeping the testicle both firmly but flexibly attached to the rest of the body may be at fault in some (young) men. | | | In those men, the testicle may be able to turn too far, thereby contorting and closing the bloodvessels to epididymis and testicle. |

| | The Facts on Undescended Testicles |
| | If a baby's testicle has not descended on its own within the first year of life, a child usually is treated, typically with surgery, to correct the condition. | | | If the infant has this condition, the doctor may not be able to feel one or both of the testicles in the scrotum, and the testicle may appear to be missing or lopsided. | | | It is important for all boys - even those whose testicles have properly descended - to learn how to do a testicular self-exam when they are teenagers so that they can detect any lumps or bumps that might be early signs of medical problems. |

| | This is usually found in preschool or school-age boys, and is thought to result from the spermatic cord (the cord that the testicles hang from) not growing as rapidly as the rest of the body. | | | The usual treatment of undescended testicle is surgery to bring the testicle into the scrotum and attach it there. | | | If the testis is not located, an imaging study, such as an ultrasound, or surgery is needed to locate the testicle. |

| | Testicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Animals other than mammals do not have externalized testicles, Birds despite having very high core body temperatures have internal testes: it was once theorized that birds used their air sacs to cool the testes internally, but later studies revealed that birds' testes function at core body temperature. | | | When the temperature needs to be lowered, the cremasteric muscle relaxes and the testicle is lowered away from the warm body and are able to cool. | | | This phenomenon is known as the cremasteric reflex. |

| | The doctor may be able to move the testicle into the scrotum during this procedure so that the baby has to have only one surgery. | | | That is why many doctors recommend treating an undescended testicle by the time a baby is 1 year old and no later than age 2. | | | After taking a wait-and-see approach, a doctor may recommend a type of surgery called laparoscopy to see if he or she can find the testicle. |

| | Testicular torsion is a disorder in which the testicles rotate (twist) and strangle the spermatic cord, which consists of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and the duct that carries sperm from the body (vas deferens), cutting off the blood supply to the testicles. | | | Color Doppler sonography (color printout of an ultrasound echo test) is used to identify the absence of blood flow typically found in a twisted testicle, which distinguishes the condition from epididymitis. | | | We subscribe to the HONcode principles of the Health On the Net Foundation |
