Even after corrective surgery, it's important to check the condition of the testicles to ensure they develop normally. You can help your son by being aware of the development of his body. Check the position of his testicles regularly during diaper changes and baths.
When your son is about to reach puberty and you're talking about what physical changes to expect, explain how he can check his testicles himself. Self-examination of testicles will be an important skill for early detection of possible tumors.
