Question Title: Undecended Testicle

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear K.B.
Thanks for your question.
Undescended testes has not been associated with homosexual behavior in the medical literature. He needs self testicular exams monthly for an increased risk of testes tumors. A urologist is not needed at this time if he is meeting his puberty milestones. Fertility should not assessed unless he wants to know ( i.e. semen analysis). Likewise the psychologist.
Note that the management of undescended testes has changed over the years. At one time orchiopexy prior to puberty was the accepted teaching. With time, we have learned more and more and the age for intervention has been progressively moved back to the present 9-12 months of age.
More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling 1 800 653 6568. We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly.
