Undescended testicle, bilateral - what does this mean
Bilateral undescended testicles occur when the testicles fail to move from the abdomen to the scrotum before birth. this is due to a lack of hormones, or a structural abnormality in the scrotum. it is a common condition, and can be treated with hormone therapy or surgery.
What happens during the disease - undescended testicle, bilateral
Undescended testicles, bilateral, is a condition in which both of the testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. this is caused by an abnormal development of the gubernaculum, the ligament that normally pulls the testes through the inguinal canal into the scrotum. this can lead to a higher risk of infertility, testicular torsion, and testicular cancer. treatment typically involves surgically repositioning the testicles into the scrotum.
