    Question

    What is cryptorchidism?

    A.

    A trapping of the penis foreskin behind the glans penis

    B.

    A failure of the descent of testicles into the scrotum

    C.

    A failure of the closure of the abdominal wall

    D.

    The inability to retract the foreskin or prepuce

    Correct option is B

    Cryptorchidism is a condition where one or both testes fail to descend into the scrotum during fetal development or early infancy. It increases the risk of infertility and testicular cancer if not corrected. Surgical intervention (orchiopexy) is usually recommended between 6–18 months of age.
    Explanation of options: (a) ✘ Trapping of foreskin – Describes paraphimosis, not cryptorchidism. (b) ✔ Failure of descent – Correct definition of cryptorchidism. (c) ✘ Abdominal wall closure failure – Refers to omphalocele or gastroschisis. (d) ✘ Inability to retract foreskin – Defines phimosis, not cryptorchidism.
