Medical term that uses it or a slight variation of it:
Cryptorchidism
Explanation of Solution
The term “Cryptorchidism” refers to the absence of one or both the testes in the scrotum. This is a birth defect in which, either one or both the testes fail to descend from the abdomen into the scrotum. Usually, the testes begin to descend from the abdominal sac after one year of birth, in most cryptorchid children. Cryptorchidism can be treated surgically through orchipexy by a pediatric surgeon. Untreated cryptorchidism could lead to infertility and the development of testicular cancer.
