Hi,
My son, who is now 5.5 weeks old, has one undescended testicle (the right one). He wasn't premature (born almost 42 weeks). The pediatrician after his birth couldn't feel the testicle in his groin, so it's basically an impalpable testicle.
In two weeks time, we have an ultrasound to see if they can locate the testicle.
Is there anyone else who went through the same thing and what was the outcome? I know if a testicle is palpable, then the procedure is pretty straight forward. But since they couldn't feel DS' testicle at all, I'm worried that it's not going to end well. Chances are, there is none, or it was underdeveloped and died.
Anyway, just a very worried mum.
