Cyptorchidism, or undescended testicles, is a congenital condition of infant males characterized by one or both testicles that haven't moved into the scrotum by birth.

Occasionally, one or both testes do not descend into the scrotum by birth but may come down later. http://www.hmc.psu.edu/childrens/healthinfo/c/cryptorchidism.htm

What organ does meiosis in the male reproductive system?
A pair of testes, located in scrotum does meiosis in male reproductive system. Testes are located in abdomen. They descend via internal inguinal ring to external inguinal ring, to scrotum by birth, each one on either side. They carry there blood supply along with them. A branch of abdominal aorta. Meiosis is possible only in lesser temperature of scrotum and not in undescended testis. Which is highly prone for malignancy after the age of eight years.
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.
