What does an undescended testicle look like?

Stupid question maybe but dh mentioned the other day that he wasn't sure ds (3) had both testicles. I'm sure everything looks normal ( to me anyway) but would you need to feel to be able to tell?

You need to feel to be sure, DS1 had late descending testicles and had several checks.
Do it in the bath, so he's warm and relaxed, you should be able to feel the equivalent of 2 small balls!

Yes you would need to feel.

DS had this and had an op to bring the undescended one down.
