Coping and support

If your son has a retractile testicle, he might be sensitive about his appearance. To help your son cope:

• Explain in simple terms what a retractile testicle is.
• Remind him that there's nothing wrong with him.
• Explain that the position of the testicle is something you, your son and his doctor will pay attention to and fix, if necessary.
• Help him practice a response if he's teased or asked about the condition.
