Moms of the US, unite!·В ожидании первенца

Hello Moms and Moms-to-be!

Long time member @junesmommy15 has a 4-month old son that was born with an undescended testicle, meaning it hasn’t come down into his scrotum yet. Her pediatrician explained that they will wait until he’s 6 months to see if the testicle will fall down on its own.

If it does not, they will perform surgery to pull it down. Her doctor told her if her son does not have the surgery to correct it, an undescended testicle may cause infertility and testicular cancer as an adult.

She’s very worried about the surgery and she’s praying it comes down on its own. If anyone has experience with something like this, please message her or leave comments below. She would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

My 20wk ultrasound showed that my baby has 2 club feet the doctor says he will have to be in casts from the time he is 4wks old til he's 10wks then he will have to have surgery and wear a cast for 3 more weeks. After that he will have to wear braces on his feet until he is 3yrs old I am pretty nervous about the surgery for sure but I know that whatever happens he will be okay! The surgery is for his own good! GOD will be watching over us! And he will be too little to remember it so it won't bother him!

my nephew was born with only one testicle. here recently he had a procedure done to see if maybe it was stuck and couldn't come down and if that was the case they'd have to go in and pull it down. but after an exploration procedure it was determined he was only born with one. he said that he's healthy and that even though he only has 1 he will still be able to have kids one day when he's older. Rylyn did really well during the procedure of course they put them to sleep but once he woke up he was back to trying to run around and chase his mickey mouse around the hospital.

My husband had this surgery done as a child. One of his balls is just slightly smaller than the other. We aren't sure if he's had fertility issues, but we do know that one testicle can completely make up for the other's low sperm production if there are effects. All in all, he's lived a completely normal life and doesn't remember the surgery at all. He's a very handsome, manly guy!!

I had also read that it's normal to be born with one or both testicles undescended that it could take up to a year to correct itself, and yes don't worry too much on the infertility part..the ones you think are likely to be infertile can and usually will surprise you. I'm hoping Keith will be born without any worries since his fathers fathers side has a lot of problems :/

Same with my sons father, ended up dropping on his own and in his fathers family it's usually linked to testicular cancer and infertility. Many good stories here so looks like the outlook is great with the procedure. I'll be praying for your family :)

I've read plenty of times that it could take up to a year for the testicles to move into place. I'd go get a second opinion! good luck momma!

@junesmommy15, my son has the same problem. He is 5months and one of his testicles hasnt come down yet. But it has come down little since he was born. They told me in the hospital that they going to see what happens but no one told me anything of these what I'm reading. Should I have him checked? Im getting really worried now and wondering why I havent been informed about it.

My 3 year old had that and he had surgery at 1 to put his testicle in place plus close a hernia. I was freaking out when I first found out because he was only 3 weeks old but it was a very simple procedure and he's perfectly fine now. It's also apparently extremely common but until I had a son that had it I had no idea that could even happen. Good luck with everything! @junesmommy15

@junesmommy15, my nephew was born with both testicles undescended, at first they couldn't find them and thought heay have been a hermaphrodite! We were devastated! Then they found them pretty high up. He was followed by a specialist. Eventually one dropped when he was about 2, the other they thought dropped but when he was 8 he had appendicitis and through ultrasound found it hadn't, so he had the procedure done, which was very minor. You can't even see a scar and recovery was quick! Its actually very common. He's 13 now and perfectly healthy! It'll be okay, sending prayers your way!

I would see if you can get referred to one. he could tell you more in depth second opinion about it and give you a better timeline on waiting and whatnot. especially cause they only deal with children. (: @junesmommy15

your very welcome. I'm here if you need anything. it's good they noticed this issue with your son. before it became to late.

I never even heard of this until recently lol. I had to look it up on Google. lol. I couldn't physically be there with my son when he had the surgery. so as a mommy. it was difficult. but now he's able to his normal activities. @junesmommy15
