When is an orchiectomy used to prevent cancer?
An orchiectomy is sometimes done to prevent cancer when an undescended testicle is found in a patient who is beyond the age of puberty.
Your baby is 4 and his testicles have not dropped what is wrong with him?
The cause of undescended testicle is unknown. Having a male relative (father/brother) who had the condition increases the risk, as well as premature birth, multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.), and low birth weight. A baby's testicles should descend in the first few months of life. If it doesn't occur after about 3 or 4 months, a doctor should be contacted. Your son should be taken to a doctor immediately. There are two reasons for that: 1) undescended testicles may not produce sperm. The reason testicles are outside of the body is because the temperature is cooler there than inside the body. This cooler temperature is crucial to the production of viable sperm. Getting the testicle to descend into the scrotum early enough in life is critical to ensuring that he has a chance of having children when he becomes an adult. 2) an undescended testicle is more likely to develop testicular cancer. An undescended testicle is a symptom of a condition known as cryptorchidism. There are usually no other symptoms except that the testicles aren't found in the scrotum. A surgery known as an orchiopexy is the main treatment.
Do testicles dropping as a toddler cause illness?
The testicles should be detectable in a boy's scrotum by the age of 1. It is ok if the testicles are retractile (they come in and out of the scrotum), but if your child's testicles have never been found in the scrotum by the end of their first year, you should contact your pediatrician. If the testicles have not descended by the age of 2, it generally needs to be done surgically. If a testicle remains undescended (cryptorchidism), it destroys the functionality of the undescended testicle and increases the risk of testicular cancer.
Do one testicular man can have normal libido for successful married life?
Your sexual life and fertility haven't got anything to do with you having one testicle. It is all normal. During contacts sport there's nothing more major than protecting your one and only testicle. If you have suffered undescended testicle while u were a baby, research found out that there is slight risk of infertility.
What occurs as a result of undescended testes?
The most common problems associated with undescended testicles are testicular neoplasm, subfertility, testicular torsion and inguinal hernia. Also, it has been well documented that men with a history of undescended testicle have a higher-than-expected incidence of testicular germ cell cancers. While the likelihood of developing testicular cancer has probably been overestimated in the past, the incidence among men with an undescended testicle is approximately one in 1,000 to one in 2,500. Undescended testicles can be categorized on the basis of physical and operative findings: (1) true undescended testicles (including intra-abdominal, peeping at the internal ring and canalicular testes), which exist along the normal path of descent and have a normally inserted gubernaculum; (2) ectopic testicles, which have an abnormal gubernacular insertion; and (3) retractile testicles, which are not truly undescended. The most important category to distinguish on physical examination is the retractile testis, because no hormone or surgical therapy is required for this condition. Approximately 20 percent of infants who present with cryptorchidism have at least one nonpalpable testicle. Through surgical examination, about one half of nonpalpable testes are found to be intra-abdominal, while the rest represent absent (vanishing) or atrophic testes. The vanishing testicle is thought to be caused by intrauterine testicular torsion.

Undescended testicle?
DefinitionUndescended testicle occurs when one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum before birth.Alternative NamesCryptorchidism; Empty scrotum - undescended testes; Scrotum - empty (undescended testes); Monorchism; Vanished testes - undescended; Retractile testesCauses, incidence, and risk factorsUndescended testicles are fairly common in premature infants. They occur in about 3 - 4% of full-term infants. In most cases the testicles descend by the time the child is 9 months old.Once a testicle has been discovered in the scrotum, it is generally considered descended even if it is temporarily pulled back (retracted) on a later examination.Sometimes a condition called retractile testes will develop. In this condition, the health care provider can sometimes locate the testicles and sometimes not.This occurs because of the strength of the muscle reflex (cremasteric reflex) that retracts the testicles and the small size of the testicles before puberty. In this instance, the testicles descend at puberty. This is considered a type of normal. Surgical correction is not needed.Testicles that do not descend by the time the child is 1 year old should be carefully evaluated. Studies suggest that surgery should be done by this age to confirm the diagnosis and to reduce the chances of permanent damage to the testicles.Testicles that do not naturally descend into the scrotum are considered abnormal. These undescended testicles have an increased likelihood of developing cancer, regardless of whether or not they are brought down into the scrotum.Bringing the testicle into the scrotum maximizes sperm production and increases the odds of good fertility. It also allows examination for early detection of testicular cancer.In other cases, such as vanished testis, no testicle may be found, even during a surgical procedure. This may be due to a problem that occurs while the baby was still developing in the mother. It may be present at birth (congenital).SymptomsThere are usually no symptoms, except that the testicle cannot be found in the scrotum (this may be described as an empty scrotum). Adult males with an undescended testicle may have problems with infertility.Signs and testsAn examination confirms that one or both of the testicles are not in the scrotum.The health care provider may or may not be able to feel the undescended testicle in the abdominal wall above the scrotum.TreatmentUsually the testicle will descend into the scrotum without any intervention during the first year of life. If this does not occur, the child may receive hormone injections (B-HCG or testosterone) to try to bring the testicle into the scrotum.Surgery (orchiopexy) is the main treatment. Earlier surgery may prevent irreversible damage to the testicles. This damage can cause infertility.Expectations (prognosis)Most cases get better on their own, without any treatment. Medical or surgical correction of the condition is usually successful.About 5% of patients with undescended testicles do not have testicles that can be found at the time of surgery. This is called a vanished or absent testis.ComplicationsIf one or both testicles do not descend, a man may be infertile later in life. Men who have an undescended testicle at birth are at higher risk of developing testicular cancer in both testes. Surgery to correct the problem may result in damage to the testicle.Calling your health care providerCall your child's health care provider if he appears to have an undescended testicle.Call your provider if you are a male, 15 years or older and you are unsure how to perform testicular self-examination(TSE) to screen for testicular cancer.ReferencesSchneck FX, Bellinger MF.

What is the usual treatment when a cancerous tumor is found in the testicle gland?
Surgical removal of a testicle is the usual treatment if a tumor is found within the gland itself.
How are undescended testes diagnosed?
The newborn examination always checks for testes in the scrotum. It they are not found, a search will be conducted, but not necessarily right away

In what organism is the sperm cell found?
Sperm can be found in testicles, or semen after ejaculation (with other fluids).
Is testicular cancer usually only found in one testicle?
It is very unlikely, though it is possible, for a man to only be born with one testicle. More commonly there were two testicles at birth and either one has been removed or that it is in the body but not located in the normal place. In conditions such as cryptorchidism, ectopic testicle, or retractile testicle, the testicle is present in the body, but may not be where you expect it. Testicles are not usually removed in the treatment of infection, but there are other reasons such as cancer, or testicular torsion where the testicle has to be removed for medical reasons. There are also a few conditions where a genetically male person will have rudimentary or non-functional testicles, such as Turner's syndrome or androgen insensitivity syndrome, but these conditions are fairly uncommon and the man would have several other physical attributes that would be abnormal than just the missing testicle. But in any particular man, if you think he only has one testicle is to ask him.
