Cryptorchidism, or undescended testis, is a congenital condition affecting approximately 2–4% of male infants. If untreated, it may impair spermatogenesis and increase the risk of testicular malignancy.
Early surgical correction (orchiopexy) is recommended within the first year of life to optimize fertility potential and reduce oncologic risk. Delayed intervention correlates with reduced sperm production in adulthood.
Long-term follow-up is advised for individuals with a history of cryptorchidism to monitor reproductive health and detect erotic potential complications.
