Question

Identify the features of cryptorchidism.

• A. Undescended testes
• B. Birth defect
• C. Infertility
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Cryptorchidism is a condition in which the testis fail to descend (one or both of the testes) from the abdomen into the bag-like scrotum outside the abdominal cavity. Thus the testes are at a higher temperature which does not favour the production of sperms. This inturn leads to infertility in males. It is one of the most common birth defects.
