Orchiopexy - The repair of an undescended testicle.
If you have one undescended testicle which of your two testes is more likely to develop cancer?
For people with one undescended testicle who develop cancer, the undescended testicle is the one that has the cancer 80% of the time. Since the descended testicle can develop cancer 20% of the time, removal of the undescended testicle is rarely performed anymore as it used to be. Careful examination of the testicles is important, especially in someone who has history of an undescended one. Hope this helps! Dr. B.
What causes a man's testicles to stay halfway in his body cavity all the time?
An undescended testicle (cryptorchidism) is a testicle that hasn't moved into its proper position in the bag of skin hanging below the penis (scrotum) before birth. Usually just one testicle is affected, but about 10 percent of the time both testicles are undescended. An undescended testicle is uncommon in general, but common among baby boys born prematurely. The vast majority of the time, the undescended testicle moves into the proper position on its own, within the first few months of life. If your son has an undescended testicle that doesn't correct itself, surgery can relocate the testicle into the scrotum. Testicles form in the abdomen during fetal development. During the last couple of months of normal fetal development, the testicles gradually descend from the abdomen through a tube-like passageway in the groin (inguinal canal) into the scrotum. With an undescended testicle, that process stops or is delayed. If the testicle hasn't moved into the scrotum by the time your son is 4 months old, the problem probably won't correct itself. Treating an undescended testicle when your son is still a baby might lower the risk of complications later in life, such as infertility and testicular cancer. Older boys - from infants to pre-adolescent boys - who have normally descended testicles at birth might appear to be "missing" a testicle later. This condition might indicate: A retractile testicle, which moves back and forth between the scrotum and the groin and might be easily guided by hand into the scrotum during a physical exam. This is not abnormal and is due to a muscle reflex in the scrotum. An ascending testicle, or acquired undescended testicle, that has "returned" to the groin and can't be easily guided by hand into the scrotum. If you notice any changes in your genitals or are concerned, talk to your doctor. ~Mayo Clinic
What is the treatment for a man with a testicle blockage?
If I am correct in assuming so, I believe you are referring to testicular torsion, which is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum. With no blood supply, the tissue DIES. Therefore, this situation is an emergency. Surgery is usually required and should be performed as soon as possible after symptoms begin. If surgery is performed within 6 hours, most testicles can be saved. If the blood supply is cut off to the testicle for a prolonged period of time, it may atrophy (shrink) and need to be surgically removed. Atrophy of the testicle may occur days-to-months after the torsion has been corrected. Severe infection of the testicle and scrotum is also possible if the blood flow is restricted for a prolonged period. Testicular torsion is a medical emergency that needs immediate treatment. Death of the testicle can occur in a few hours. Once the testicle is dead it must be removed to prevent gangrenous infection.
What age does a boy go through puberty with one testicle?
A boy with one testicle goes through puberty the same time a person with two does. The second testicle is a spare!!!! You only need one!
When will swelling go down after hydrocelectomy surgery?
3 to six months depending on your bodys ability to heal itself. It will be a different shape than the other testicle due to trauma, but will soften over time.
How do you know if your male child's testicles have descended?
They SHOULD descend before age 1 year. If not the risks for testiculer cancer and infertility rise and he will need them surgically released. Many premature infants are born before the testes drop. Usually they will descend in the first 3 months after birth. If not by then, they are likely to descend in the next 3 months. If not by 6 months of age they are not as likely to descend on their own.
What is orchioplexy?
Orchiopexy is a surgical procedure to correct undescended testicles in males. It involves repositioning the testicle(s) into the scrotum and fixing it in place to prevent future retraction. Orchiopexy is commonly performed in infancy or early childhood to avoid potential complications and ensure normal testicular development.
Grammar - 3 month's time or 3 months time?
Just to be awkward, I rather think it should be 3 months' time. Months are not in possession of time !!!! I believe it would be "3 months time". Answer above is correct in that months cannot be in possession of time; however, "3 months' time" would still be giving the word "months" possession.

I think you should maybe get off wiki and go to the doctors.
Will a puntured testicle heal?
It will heal, but there is a chance that it could lead to sterility. The testicle is an immunoprotected site. This means that normally your immune system can't get in there. This is important because your sperm only has half of your genetic material, and if your immune system were to see them, it would attack them. Any time a testicle is punctured, it has a chance of allowing the immune system the ability to attack the sperm.
