Detailed explanation-1: -Congenital absence of the testes (anorchia) is a very rare condition where the testes are absent when a baby is born. The testes are two egg-shaped male reproductive organs located in the scrotum (a sack or pouch that contains the testes). The testes produce sperm and the male hormone testosterone.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anorchia is defined as an absence of testicular tissue and monorchia as a condition in which only one testis is present. These conditions can be congenital or acquired (as with surgical removal of a testicle). Congenital anorchia and monorchia are rare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Undescended testicles, also known as cryptorchidism, is a fairly common and normally painless congenital condition in which one or both of a baby’s testicles (testes) have not moved into the proper position. One to 2 percent of male infants are affected.
