 Hi, my name is Dr. Radhakrishnan. I am a pediatric surgeon and a pediatric urologist and I work at the Manipal Hospital in Bangalore. The more severe the degree of hypospedias, the more likely one is to encounter another flaw in the system and therefore, if one is present, presented with a child with a minor degree of hypospedias, one probably doesn't need to investigate further. While if a child presents with a severe degree of hypospedias, more investigations may be necessary. These would include a thorough examination of the child to ensure that other conditions such as normal descent of the testis have occurred and also investigations such as ultrasound to ensure that there aren't any internal problems or anomalies that one would otherwise miss.
