Parents who are discussing with the clinic nurse the undescended testicle of their son indicate their understanding of the condition when they say:
a. "An undescended testicle can reduce fertility.".
b. "The testicle usually descends spontaneously during the first month of life.".
c. "Surgical correction reduces the risk for testicular tumors.".
d. "We know our child will not develop secondary sex characteristics.".

Cryptorchidism can reduce fertility, and corrective surgery does not guarantee increased fertility or reduce the risk of tumors. The testes descend to the scrotum during fetal life.
