Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Definition. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development.
An orchidectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or both testicles. There are several reasons why a man might have this operation, such as cancer, injury, or trauma to the area. Regardless of the reason, the effects of this surgery on a manâs sex life depend on the number of testicles removed. When one testicle is removed, there is usually no effect on a manâs sexual function.
Luckily, about half of these testicles will drop on their own during the first 3 months of life. But testicles won't drop on their own after 3 months of age. Thus, about 1 or 2 out of 100 boys with undescended testicles will need treatment. It's important not to confuse undescended testicles with retractile testicles. After 6 months of age, a male child has a reflex that temporarily pulls the testicles up to protect them when he's cold or frightened. These testicles are in the scrotum at other times and don't need treatment. Only testicles that are truly undescended need treatment.
