The testicles normally drop down (descend)into the scrotum in the last 1 to 2 months before the boy is born.Often,undescended testicles descend into the scrotum on their own in the first few months of life.If they do not descend by that time,surgery should be done to correct the problem,typically before age 1.B.C.D.Waiting to perform surgery after the age 1 increases the risk for infertility.
