RE: undescended testis UDT
Usually, this is a problem that is dealt when the child is a baby/toddler ... The only other treatnment I know of is with hormones but it is not nearly so effective as surgery. Have a read of this:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/undescended-testicle/symptoms-causes/syc-20351995
especially the parts about complications (i.e. what can go wrong if nothing is done) and treatment.
