What happen if an undescended testis is not treated until the age 30 or above? Does it affect fertility?

Male suppose to have testis and what happen in a condition of undescended testis? Does it affect fertility and bringing other health problems? Can this undescended testis still be treated when the male reach the age of 30 and above? And what is the chance of recovering after treatment for adult at this age?

Yeah it can affect fertility and maybe cause other issues. Look up cryptorchidism. I think it's rare for it to be left untreated that long so I'm not sure what happens. but I'm sure it could be treated at that age with surgery or something.
