undescended testis

i am 22 year old male.
i am having the problem of undescended testicle. nothing was reported at the time of birth. it is noticed at the time of of circumcision(the process of removing the round part on the edge above the conical vascular body of the penis) followed among Muslims.
the disorder is that one of the testis is not in scrotum. it is above the abdominal position.in the left part of the bladder..
although i am not facing any problem, i recall  i was facing little pain two or three times pain within last two years.
so the all i want to know that whether will it make any problem in future?
if it is what is the solution?

Hi,
Thanks for the update. How are you? Were you able to discuss the surgical procedure for the hernia and non-functional testes? It is important that you manage the hernia also to prevent any complications in the future. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hi,
How are you? Possible complications of undescended testicles include infertility later in life and even testicular cancer in both testes. Surgery or orchiopexy to bring the testicle into the scrotum is the main treatment and having surgery early may prevent damage to the testicles that can cause infertility. It is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper management. Hope this helps. Take care and regards.
