The risk is higher for intra-abdominal testes and somewhat lower for inguinal testes, but even the normally descended testis of a man whose other testis was undescended has about a 20% higher cancer risk than those of other men. [citation needed] The most common type of testicular cancer occurring in undescended testes is seminoma. [5]

Testicle pain, better referred to as scrotal content pain, can be due to a variety of non-organ-threatening causes such as referred pain from a hernia, kidney stone, as mentioned above, or most ...
PMDS Type I is also referred to as hernia uteri inguinalis, which exhibits one descended testis that has also pulled the fallopian tube, and sometimes uterus, through the inguinal canal. [8] The descended testes, fallopian tube and uterus all fall in the same inguinal canal, causing an inguinal hernia. [ 8 ]
Diagnosing undescended testicles involves a physical examination. If the testis cannot be felt, it is categorized as "non-palpable." Generally, there are three underlying reasons for nonpalpable testicles: The testis is in the inguinal canal but cannot be palpated for specific reasons. The testis is situated inside the abdomen.
Undescended testis is found in 4% of full-term infants but only 0.8% of males at the age of 1 year have true cryptorchidism. Although an undescended testis can be found anywhere along the pathway of descent from the retroperitoneum to the scrotum, the inguinal canal is the most common site for an undescended testis.
Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord (from which the testicle is suspended) twists, cutting off the blood supply to the testicle. [3] The most common symptom in children is sudden, severe testicular pain. [1] The testicle may be higher than usual in the scrotum and vomiting may occur.
Raveenthiran described a new syndrome in which Spigelian hernia and cryptorchidism (undescended testis) occur together. [16] Some common complications of this distinct syndrome cryptorchidism are testicular torsion, and its link to testicular cancer. [17]
