Cryptorchidism is the condition in which one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. Orchiopexy is a surgical procedure to correct this condition. Varicocele is a swelling of the veins in the scrotum, whereas hydrocele is a buildup of fluid around the testicle. Ectopy of the testicle refers to a testicle that is located outside of the scrotum, but it is a rare condition.
