Right testicle isn't descended according to the sonography report - should we be worried about this? Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? My main concern is whether this could cause problems later if left untreated

If the testicles don't descend by 6 months, it's very unlikely they will without treatment. In this case, a surgical procedure called an orchidopexy will be recommended to reposition one or both testicles. The operation should ideally be carried out before your child's 12 months old.
