We finally had our appointment with a surgeon this morning for him to have a look at Coop as at his 2 yr app'nt they couldn't find one of his testes so they referred us to this surgeon.
Well today he basically said that he couldn't find it & that he is pretty sure Coop will now have to have laparoscopy surgery so they can see 'in' further He has ordered an ultrasound which we can't get until 19th August, ahh another whole month away - so annoying!
Poor little guy I am crossing my fingers that they find his other teste via ultrasound and won't need surgery. Anyone else DS's had to go through with this?
Re: Undescended testes
I will definitely keep that offer in mind Jill if we go down that path - thanks!
What worries me is that they do the ultrasound & still can't find it meaning that he is left with only one teste Not sure how huge a thing that is for his future....might need to consult Google for that!
Have they never found it? I would think they would have noticed this at birth or shortly thereafter... my ped checks this at every visit...
Apparently 2 of DH's uncles are either missing a teste or they never descended, and they both have 3 children of their own now (not sure about the status of their testes, though).
I hope everything goes well for your little guy! T&P to you!

My brother had the surgery done, but he was less than a year old, I think. (This was 30 yrs ago, and US.) Went well and recovered quickly.
I was also going to ask if it's not checked regularly. James' have been checked twice already.
Sending hugs and hoping it shows up on the u/s!

Well if they have found it before, it has to be tehre somewhere.. I wonder why it retreated??
I can tell you that my Grandfather only had one, and he had four healthy kids. I hope everything works out well, but he could still lead a healthy normal life and have children with just one.
Keeping you guys in my thoughts & prayers! This must be so stressful for you!
