Has anyone else had this? I'm told it is not so rare. Apparently there is a tube running from tummy to testicle that seals off in most young babies. It hasn't in ds1 and causes one of his testicles to swell up. It is not so serious but can cause a hernia, which is why they want to operate. I am nervous though as it means a general anaesthetic on a 3 year old!
