Before the birth one or both testis fail to move from the abdomen into the scrotum this condition is known as cryptorchidism or undescended testis.

Normally the testicle remains in the abdomen, in some cases, the testicle starts to descend but remains stuck in the groin area. Many times, undescended testicles continue to move from the abdomen into the scrotum, during the primary growth of child.
