Is Tight Scrotum With Feeling Of Testes Not Being Down In A Child Serious?

Hello my son is 21 months old & his scrotum is always tight & looks smaller than his friends. At his 6 week check they thought one teste hadn't come down but at a later check they said it was there. I can't feel either of them - should I get him checked out?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. checking a babies testes is one of the most important parts of a physical exam in the pediatricians office. At 21 months of age, your son gas been examined many times and been deemed normal every time. I don't believe there is cause to run to a specialist at this time. However, at your sons next visit, I recommend discussing your concern with your pediatrician and asking specifically what the reassuring findings are. This way not onlybwilk your doctor be comfortable, but you will be comfortable as well.
