Abstract

Cryptorchidism, also known as undescended testis, is a prevalent congenital abnormality in male newly born infants. History taking and physical examination are the primary diagnostic instruments. Initiation of treatment is recommended at six months of age. There are several contentious subjects regarding hormone therapy, including the impact of undescended testes on fertility and its implications for testicular tumors. How we manage undescended testes, particularly when the undescended testis is nonpalpable; which strategy is superior to others. In this article, several controversial topics have been examined.
