What Is the Cost of Cryptorchidism (Undescended Testicle) Treatment in Germany?
The cost of Cryptorchidism (Undescended Testicle) treatment in Germany typically ranges from $7,000 to $25,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.
Undescended testicles (cryptorchidism) are testicles that have not moved down into the scrotum before birth. It is common in young boys. In Germany, the total depends on:
- Waiting period: many testicles descend in the first 12 weeks.
- Specialist assessment: if the testicle has not descended.
- Orchidopexy: surgery to move the testicle into the scrotum.
- Follow-up: to check the testicle's position.
When Undescended Testicles Need Treatment
The NHS says undescended testicles are usually found at the newborn check and often move down by themselves within the first 12 weeks. Being born early, a low birth weight and a family history raise the risk.
Boys with one undescended testicle are referred if it has not moved down by four to five months, and those with both undescended after about eight weeks. Untreated, the condition can cause health problems later.

Surgery to move the testicle into the scrotum is called an orchidopexy. The NHS describes it as safe and effective, usually done at around one year of age.
Follow-up checks confirm the testicle has stayed in place.
Orchidopexy in Germany
Orchidopexy is usually a day procedure or short stay, so the estimate mainly covers the operation and anaesthesia. International patients are usually treated in Germany as self-paying patients: the hospital reviews the medical reports, sends a cost estimate and asks for an advance payment before admission, then settles the final bill after discharge.
Families who need a visa for a child's treatment should allow time to gather the hospital letter, cost estimate and proof of advance payment that German missions ask for.
