Hello
Thanks for query .
Your 9 years old son has one testis and ultrasound scan and C.T scan of abdomen has revealed absence of testicle either in inguinal acanal ,sub inguinal pouch or in the abdomen .
Congenital absence of testicle is reported in one in 10 thousand population of the males and there is nothing to be worried about his puberty ,sexual life and fertility as he has other normal testis.
