Approximately 10% to 30% of individuals with unilateral undescended testis may experience infertility, with the risk escalating from 35% to 65% or higher for those with bilateral disease. If bilateral cryptorchid testes are left untreated, the infertility rate can exceed 90%.

I'm experiencing some discoloration on the top part of my glans after being treated for secondary phimosis with a cream from a dermatologist. Theres no pain or irritation, but the doctor mentioned it could be LSABXO and might not be treatable. Is there any way to treat this discoloration, and if it's not treated, what could happen? Also, I've noticed I can keep the foreskin retracted without feeling any tightness. Is it okay to do this auto-circumcision all the time?

Discoloration Treatment and Potential Complications 1. Treatment options: For the discoloration, similar to vitiligo, treatment options are limited. Your dermatologist may recommend: - Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation. - Topical immunomodulators to modulate the immune response. - Phototherapy, such as narrowband UVB, to stimulate repigmentation. 2. Potential complications: If left untreated, the discoloration may: - Persist or worsen over time.
