Hello,
Treatment for the undescended testicle depends on the location of the testis. For testes which can be felt in the groin area, the usual recommendation is for an operation called anorchidopexy or orchidopexy.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
