condition where a testicle doesn't descend into the scrotum

Cryptorchidism, also known as an undescended testicle, is a condition where one or both of the testes fail to move into the scrotum before birth. This can lead to complications such as infertility and an increased risk of testicular cancer if not corrected, typically through surgical intervention called orchiopexy.
