    It was just notice this week by his doc. But from what I read they usually notice at birth. I think she may be wrong about the u.t and they jut moved or something at the time I don't know?

    It is not uncommon for the testes to retract up in to the abdominal cavity for a short period. This is called a retractile testicle. If this is the case it should correct itself by the age of one year. If not, the child should be carefully re-evaluated.

    Yeah I hope that is the case. But we have to see a uroligist on December 12. Do you know how long the surgery is to correct it? I read its not bad and is even outpatient and someone in my family had it and my mom said they are fine.

    I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the surgery. The best thing for you to do would be to make a list of all of your questions and take them with you to the urologist.
