Condition of testes do not descend into scrotum before birth?
cryptorchidism
Failure of the testicles to descend into the scrotum is called what?
Undescended Testicle/s is the condition you refer to. It's when at birth one or both of the testes have not dropped into position in the scrotum. It happens in roughly one in 25 boys but usually it's nothing to worry about as the testes will normally move into position on there own.
Why does your 2yr old cult horse only show 1 testicle?
A Cryptorchid is a male horse who has at least one testicle that was retained in the abdomen. Normally a colt's testicles will descend or "drop" at about 1 year, and a ring (Inguinal ring) closes above it to keep it in the scrotum. Sometimes the ring closes and leaves the testicle in the abdomen instead of the scrotum.
Your son have only one scrotum is it dangerous?
To be clear on the terms: The scotum is the sack-like pouch beneath the penis. Inside the scrotum lie two testicles. From your questions, I'm guessing that you mean testicles and not "scrotum". If you mean testicles, and not scrotum, the condition you are describing is most likely cryptorchism. This condition arises when one (or both) of the testicles do not descend from the abdomen within the first year or so after birth. The testicles are located in the scrotum mainly because the temperature there is lower than the body's core temperature. This slightly lower temperature is optimal for the testicles to produce sperm-cells. When the a testicle does not descend into the scrotum like it normally would, the tissue within the testicle is affected by the slightly higher temperature. The tissue will atrophy (waste away) and the result will be lower fertility later on in life. The condition can easily be corrected by a quick corrective surgical action. Because of the possible long-term consequences, you should contact your family doctor.

What is the medical term meaning moving an undescended testicle into its normal position in the scrotum?
Orchiopexy is the surgical procedure for moving an undescended testicle into the scrotum.
What is the medical term meaning hidden testes?
In medical terminology, it is known as cryptorchidism. In the fetal life, testes are abdominal organs from where they descend to scrotum before birth. The common term is "undescended testicle".
What sac like structure which contain the testicle?
It is the scrotum.
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
