my friend has undescended testis on one side.he underwent surgery but it was a failure.He is 19years now.can u suggest the possible treatment to prevent the risk of infertility or testicular cancer in later life? Is he completely sterile? please give possible treatments please
HiT hanks for your query. There are two parts to your query.1. To prevent testicular cancer, we can try to get the affected testis out of the body by surgery (NOT fixing it, which failed earlier).2. Whether he is sterile now, that can be determined by semen analysis. If he has normal sperm counts then nothing needs to be done. But sometimes in these situations, even with one normal testis, sperm counts are low. Then you should consult infertility expert. Hope this helps. Regards
