Hello- In most cases (about 70 percent), undescended testicles come down on their own within 6 months. But if both/one testicles haven't descended by this time, it's likely that your child will need surgery. This type of surgery is usually done between ages 6 months and 2 years.

Wait till he reaches 1 year of age. After that go for surgical correction of undescended testis.
