My nephew is 9 and has had undescended testis since birth. The government hospital recommended surgery but I want a second opinion. Should I see a pediatrician, pediatric surgeon, general surgeon, or urologist for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For undescended testes, a pediatric urologist or pediatric surgeon is ideal. Surgery is usually needed before age 1–2. Delay increases cancer and fertility risks.
