Default Re: No balls in my son\'s sack. He\'s 6. Surgery needed?

It increases the risk of testicular cancer the longer they are up there. Also, when they reach puberty, supposedly there are discomfort issues. I had mine surgically dropped when I was about 10 and haven't had any issues to my knowledge since then. I also have a friend who needs it, but hasn't had it done. He says there is some discomfort sometimes. He has had children though, so no problem there.
