Anorchism: A boy born with anorchism will typically have a normally developed penis and scrotum; however will not have testes.
Possible complications: Without hormone therapy, boys may experience limited penis and public hair growth, no deepening of voice, and difficulty gaining muscle mass.
Treatment: Anorchism is treatable with proper therapy. The primary treatment involves hormone therapy to compensate for the testosterone the testes would have normally produced. Prosthetic testicle implants are also available.
