Key Points

This research aims to identify the diagnosis age of undescended testis and its influencing factors.
Analyzed medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with undescended testis
Examined the relationship between maternal age and diagnosis timing
Investigated overall trends in diagnosis and intervention timing
Many children were diagnosed earlier than the recommended age
Significant delays in diagnosis were still observed
Maternal age was identified as a key factor affecting diagnosis timing

Implication

This analysis reveals delays in diagnosis of undescended testis in pediatric patients, highlighting the need for improved awareness.

Abstract

Although many children with UDT in our study were diagnosed early, delays beyond the recommended age for intervention remain common. Maternal age emerged as a significant predictor of delayed diagnosis, underscoring the need for targeted parental education and systematic screening during infancy.
