Monorchism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Monorchidism is the presence of a single testicle, whether because the other one did not develop, did not descend, or was removed. It is a condition that may be detected in childhood or incidentally in adulthood.
Which specialist treats it? The urologist is the go-to doctor to evaluate monorchidism; in children the pediatrician usually gets involved as well, and the general practitioner can guide the first visit.
When is it a good idea to have it checked? When the absence of a testicle is noticed on examination, when there are questions about development in childhood, or if discomfort arises in the area.
Things to consider: many people with a single testicle retain normal function, though medical follow-up helps monitor testicular health. The most sensible thing is to discuss any finding with a professional who can evaluate the case individually.
