Question
My grandson is currently 25 months old, when he was 15 months old, I gave him surgery for undescended testicles on both sides. To this day, I still feel worried because I feel that his testicles are not developing, the scrotum containing the testicles is always tight, small, his penis is short, normally about 1.5cm, if pulled out, about 3cm. I want to ask, is the scrotum containing the testicles small and tight, the short penis after surgery for ectopic testicles, is it normal and will affect future reproduction?

Hello! The baby has operated on an ectopic testicle and now you see that the scrotum containing the baby's testicles is small and small, the penis is short, so it is very worried, but because he is too small, the testicles and penis are not fully developed, so This is normal, don't worry.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
