Testicles undescended Support

Educational Overview

Undescended Testicles 

Undescended testicles, also known as cryptorchidism, occur when one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum before or shortly after birth. This condition can affect many species, including dogs, cats, horses, and livestock.

Common Causes

• Genetic predisposition affecting normal testicular descent
• Hormonal imbalances during fetal development
• Developmental abnormalities in the inguinal canal
• Premature birth increasing the likelihood of incomplete descent
• Trauma or scarring in the inguinal region (less common)

Common Signs

• One or both testicles missing from the scrotum
• Palpable testicle located in the abdomen or groin area
• Behavioural changes similar to intact males (if one testicle is present)
• Increased risk of testicular torsion or discomfort
• No obvious external signs in some animals, especially if abdominal

Diagnostic Approach

• Veterinary physical examination to locate the retained testicle
• Ultrasound imaging to identify abdominal or deep‑seated testicles
• Hormone testing to confirm presence of functional testicular tissue
• Review of breed history and genetic risk factors
• Assessment for complications such as torsion or tumour development

Recognizing undescended testicles early helps support timely veterinary evaluation and reduces long‑term risks such as infertility or testicular cancer.
