Undescended Testis - Overview |
|
Text 
|
The testis is responsible for sperm production in men. The general body temperature is 36.9°C. But sperm production is best at a temperature 2°C less than this level. This is the reason why the testes are located outside the body. When the baby is formed in the womb, the testis is initially formed inside the baby’s belly. As the fetus (baby in the womb) grows, the testes gradually descend out of the body and reach the sac (scrotum). When this does not happen, or is arrested half way, the result is ‘Undescended Testis’(UDT).

Posted on: 03/16/2011 Sir,
Season's greetings!
My brother is 23 years old and is suffering from undescended penis since birth. Due to circumstances he was never treated or examined. In 2004 the examinations were carried out and the results were as follows:
USG KUB scan=organs imaged appear normal
USG of testis=bilateral undescended testes with micro testis.
subsequently ultrasonography for lower abdomen was carried and the results were :
undescended left testis[abdominal position], right testis seen in right inguinal canal.
Chromosome analysis= normal male karyotype.
He was given profasi 200mg for 03 months twice weekly. thereafter no further treatment and review were carried out.Please advise us the type of treatment he should undergo and the place where he can undergo such treatment.
Regards.

Posted on: 04/03/2009 Hi, I would like to get clarification on the following with respect to corporate mediclaim insurance. 1. What is the exact meaning of Congenital Internal Disease? 2. Testis undescended at Birth falls under Congenital Internal Disease or not? Even my mediclaim policy covers for Congenital Internal Disease and also for pre-exisisting at Birth,Insurance claim is denied for the surgery performed for testis undescended. Kindly update me on this. Regards Prashanth.H.T |
