Anorchia treatment in Benito Juárez

Anorchia is a rare condition in which a male is born without one or both testicles, even though the development of the external genitalia has usually been completed; it is due to the testicles failing to form or disappearing during development.

How is it usually detected? It is often identified during childhood checkups when one or both testicles are not palpable in the scrotum, which prompts additional studies.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when, during an examination, one or both testicles are not located in their usual place.

Which specialist treats it? Its study corresponds to the urologist, with the participation of the pediatrician and the general practitioner in the initial evaluation. If this suspicion arises during a checkup, discussing it with a specialist allows defining the appropriate study steps.
