Is surgery possible for cryptorchidism in a 25-year-old male?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Undescended testes should be corrected in infancy actually. Mode of correction depends on the type of undescended testes. There could be chances of malignancy and infertility if a correction does not occur in infancy. But the positive point here is that your husband having one side undescended and other side, not undescend but other side having a varicocele (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is not clear in research as well how much chances of fertility correction after correction in the age of 25 years but their could be intrauterine semination, other IVF options always there if just one or two normal sperm could be detected from semen.

Better to consult good fertility advisor or IVF center and surgeon as well for your conception issue but before that have proper investigations and correction of varicocele and undescended testis as well. You need multidisciplinary care and approach to find a correct solution as he needs surgery urgent or not. Before surgery, you can have IVF or IUI or after. All these points need investigations and discussion among all above-mentioned specialist.
