Hi... Greetings form Chennai. Usually in such cases - it is called congenital HY Chat Doctor.  But this I can do confidently after seeing the kids scrotum and proper examination by touching it and seeing for the tenseness. Ultrasound report can only be corroborative. It cannot help in either deciding to do surgery or not. Regards -
