Is cryptorchidism congenital?

Cryptorchidism generally refers to cryptorchidism, which is congenital.

Cryptorchidism refers to abnormal testicular position, unable to descend to the normal scrotum position, but stay in the retroperitoneum, inguinal canal or scrotal entrance. The disease belongs to a congenital disease, which exists since children are born, mainly related to genetic, endocrine dysfunction and testicular abnormality. For children with cryptorchidism, most of them can descend spontaneously within 3 months after birth. If they still do not descend to scrotum after 6 months of birth, corresponding clinical intervention should be given, including hormone therapy and surgical treatment.
