[…] The purpose of this guideline is to provide physicians and non-physician providers (primary care and specialists) with a consensus of principles and treatment plans for the management of cryptorchidism. […] Successful scrotal relocation of the testis, however, may reduce but does not prevent these potential long-term sequelae in susceptible individuals. […] 2. Providers should assess the possibility of a disorder of sex development (DSD) when there is increasing severity of hypospadias with cryptorchidism.

[…] Retractile testes have an increased risk of becoming an ascending or acquired undescended testis. […] The National Screening Committee Policy – 'cryptorchidism screening’ – states that screening for undescended and maldescended testes should take place in the routine physical examination of boys within 72 hours of birth and at the six- to eight-week check. A re-check should be carried out at 4-5 months of age if testes have previously been found to be undescended, to assess for spontaneous descent.

  If you or your child have a testicle which is not in the normal (scrotal) position, you should contact your GP for further advice. […] The commonest reason for a testicle which cannot be seen or felt is that it is retractile, meaning that it moves upwards. This is especially common in children and is not of any concern. Your GP may be able to demonstrate retraction. This usually means that no immediate treatment is needed, provided the testicle can be brought to the bottom of the scrotum. Retractile testicles usually become less so with time and spend progressively more time in the scrotum with less time in the groin. […] For these reasons, early treatment is normally recommended, as below. […] Using hormones to stimulate testicular descent in children works best with low-lying testicles. The success rate is less than 20%, so surgery remains the „gold standard” for treatment. Your paediatric urologist will advise you on whether hormone treatment is appropriate for your son. Hormone treatment is ineffective in adults with an undescended testicle.

  A retractile testis can be brought all the way into the scrotum without tension but retracts back to an inguinal position after a variable period. It is a normal variant. The cremaster muscle contracts to control the temperature of the testis, retracting it to the body when environmental temperature changes. When androgen levels are high at birth and at 36 months, the cremaster muscle is more relaxed. When androgen levels decrease after this, the muscle has a greater tendency to contract, causing retractile testes. […] Current guidelines recommend referral at 36 months for unilateral UDT, and orchidopexy between six and 12 months.

  3. Providers should not use hormonal therapy to induce testicular descent as evidence shows low response rates and lack of evidence for long-term efficacy. […] In the absence of spontaneous testicular descent by six months (corrected for gestational age), specialists should perform surgery within the next year. […] 4. In prepubertal boys with palpable, cryptorchid testes, surgical specialists should perform scrotal or inguinal orchidopexy. […] In boys with a normal contralateral testis, surgical specialists may perform an orchiectomy (removal of the undescended testis) if a boy has a normal contralateral testis and either very short testicular vessels and vas deferens, dysmorphic or very hypoplastic testis, or postpubertal age. […] 5. Providers should counsel boys with a history of cryptorchidism and/or monorchidism and their parents regarding potential long-term risks and provide education on infertility and cancer risk. […] The increased incidence of malignancy in cryptorchid testes varies from 49/100,000 (0.05%) to 12/1,075 (1%).

  If retractile testicle is well monitored and intervened in time, it does not pose a serious risk for testicular cancer and infertility like other undescended testicle subtypes. […] Most of the shy testicles spontaneously descend and settle into the scrotum (sac) as children grow, and this period may last until adolescence. It usually resolves on its own without the need for surgery. However, a small part of it, called 'assending’, settles in the groin instead of the scrotum and requires surgery. […] If you think your child has shy or undescended testicles, you should definitely consult a urologist. Undescended or shy testicle is a pathology that should not be neglected, although its treatment is simple and its consequences can be serious. […] If intervention is needed during follow-up of retractile (shy) testicles, it must be treated with surgical intervention, just like other types of undescended testicles. Drug treatments used for a while are no longer recommended because their success rate is very low. […] Drug therapy has no place in the treatment of both undescended testicles and retractile, escaping testicles. If necessary, fixation is made by surgery.
