Cryptorchidism is one of the most common congenital developmental malformations of the urogenital system in children. It affects the growth and development of testis, leads to impaired spermatogenic function, and even causes infertility. Therefore, early treatment is needed. There are few studies on whether the testicular volume of children with cryptorchidism will change compared with the normal side or normal children. In this manuscript, objective data were obtained by comparing the testicular volume of children with cryptorchidism and normal children, suggesting that children with cryptorchidism should be treated with surgery as soon as possible.
