They move from the body through a tube in the groin. Then they descend into the scrotum before birth. The scrotum is the sac of skin hanging behind the penis.</p><p>An undescended testicle stays in the abdomen. The testicle has not lowered into the scrotum before birth. This is called cryptorchidism.</p><p>The condition is common among baby boys who are born premature. All male babies are checked at birth to make sure their testicles have descended.</p><p>Often, the testicle will descend on its own within the first few months of life. If it does not, your child may need surgery.</p><p>Left untreated, an undescended testicle can cause fertility problems when the boy becomes an adult.</p><p>Other kinds of problems with testicles include:</p><ul><li>A retractable testicle, which moves back and forth between the scrotum and the groin.</li><li>An ascending testicle, which moves back into the groin.</li></ul><p>You can feel for your son's testicles while changing diapers or while bathing. If the testicle does not descend on its own by three or four months, your child may need surgery.<br></p> <figure class="asset-c-80"> <span class="asset-image-title">Undescended testes</span> <img src="https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/akhassets/Undescended_testes_MED_ILL_EN.png" alt="Path of normal descent of testes and the path and potential sites of undescended testes between the abdomen and scrotum" /> <figcaption class="asset-image-caption">Testes normally develop in the abdomen and travel down to the scrotum before birth.

Risk factors that may increase the risk of problems in fetal development include: </p> <ul> <li>premature birth</li> <li>family history of undescended testicle</li> <li>low birth weight</li> </ul><h2>How a doctor can help your child with an undescended testicle</h2> <p>If the testicle has not lowered into the scrotum, your son's doctor will try to manually move the testicle into the scrotum. If this does not work, the doctor may refer you to a specialist. </p> <p>If the testicle has not descended on its own by three or four months, your child may need surgery. Surgery will be scheduled when your child is between one and two years of age.</p><h2>Complications</h2> <p>Testicles need cool body temperature in the scrotum area to make sperm. An undescended testicle may be too warm to produce healthy sperm. This increases the risk of fertility problems. </p><h2>When to seek medical assistance</h2> <p>If you think a diagnosis of undescended testicles has been missed, see a doctor right away. See a doctor if you have any concerns about the area around your child's groin. </p>

Ils se déplacent du corps vers l’aine dans un canal situé dans l'aine. Ils descendent ensuite dans le scrotum (les bourses) avant la naissance. Le scrotum est le sac de peau qui pend derrière le pénis.</p><p>Un testicule non descendu reste dans l’abdomen. Il n’est pas descendu dans le scrotum avant la naissance. C’est ce que l’on appelle la cryptorchidie.</p><p>Ce trouble est courant chez les bébés garçons nés prématurément. On examine tous les petits garçons à la naissance afin de s’assurer que leurs testicules sont bien descendus.</p><p>Souvent, le testicule descend par lui-même dans les premiers mois de vie du bébé. Sinon, votre enfant pourrait avoir besoin de chirurgie.</p><p>Sans traitement, la cryptorchidie peut causer des problèmes de fertilité pour le garçon à l’âge adulte.</p><p>Les autres types de problèmes liés aux testicules comprennent, sans toutefois s’y limiter, les suivants :</p><ul><li>un testicule rétractable, qui va et vient entre le scrotum et l’aine;</li><li>un testicule montant, qui revient vers l’aine.</li></ul><p>Vous pouvez essayer de sentir les testicules de votre fils en changeant ses couches ou en lui donnant son bain. Si le testicule ne descend pas par lui-même avant l’âge de 3 ou 4e mois, votre enfant pourrait avoir besoin d’une chirurgie.</p> <figure class="asset-c-100"> <span class="asset-image-title">Testicules non descendus (cryptorchidisme)</span><img src="https://assets.aboutkidshealth.ca/akhassets/Undescended_testes_MED_ILL_FR.png" alt="Tracé de la descente normale des testicules et le tracé et les possibles emplacements des testicules non descendus" /><figcaption class="“asset-image-caption”">Normalement, les testicules se développent dans l'abdomen et migrent vers le scrotum avant la naissance. Parfois, un testicule reste dans l'abdomen ou en haut du scrotum.</figcaption> </figure><h2>À retenir</h2> <ul> <li>La cryptorchidie qualifie le fait qu’un testicule ne soit pas descendu dans le scrotum.</li> <li>Souvent, ce trouble se corrige par lui-même dans les premiers mois de vie.</li> <li>Une opération chirurgicale pourrait être nécessaire si le testicule ne descend pas par lui-même.</li> <li>Sans traitement, il existe un risque accru de problèmes d’infertilité.</li></ul><h2>Facteurs de risque</h2> <p>La cryptorchidie se produit en raison de problèmes pendant le développement fœtal. Les facteurs qui peuvent faire augmenter les risques de problèmes du développement fœtal comprennent, sans toutefois s’y imiter :</p> <ul> <li>naissance prématurée;</li> <li>antécédents familiaux de cryptorchidie;</li> <li>faible poids à la naissance.</li> </ul><h2>Comment un médecin peut aider votre enfant qui présente une cryptorchidie</h2> <p>Si le testicule n'est pas descendu dans le scrotum, le médecin de votre enfant tentera de l’y déplacer manuellement. Si cette méthode échoue, le médecin pourrait vous adresser à un spécialiste.</p> <p>Si le testicule ne descend pas par lui-même avant l’âge de 3 ou 4 mois, votre enfant pourrait avoir besoin de chirurgie. Une opération sera prévue quand votre enfant aura 1 ou 2 ans.</p><h2>Complications</h2> <p>Les testicules ont besoin d’une température plus fraîche dans la région du scrotum pour produire des spermatozoïdes. Avec la cryptorchidie, la température pourrait être trop chaude pour la production de spermatozoïdes sains. Il en résulte une augmentation des problèmes de fertilité.</p><h2>Quand demander une aide médicale</h2> <p>Si vous estimez que l’on a omis de diagnostiquer une cryptorchidie, consultez immédiatement un médecin. Consultez un médecin si vous avez des préoccupations quant à la région qui entoure l’aine chez votre enfant.</p>
