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.
