Undescended testicles are a common childhood condition where a boy’s testicles are not in their usual place in the scrotum.

Refer at the time of diagnosis if the testes cannot be found, or if they are in the inguinal canal and cannot be milked down. Testes that can be milked down are retractile and do not need to be seen.
