"As a baby boy grows inside his mother's womb, his testicles typically form inside his abdomen and move down (descend) into the scrotum shortly before birth. But in some cases, that move or descent doesn't occur, and the baby is born with a condition known as undescended testicles (or cryptorchidism)."

if a child's testicles does not descend by the time he is one year old, he may become infertile or be at risk or testicular cancer. =(

Yes there are medicinal remedy for this, but be sure if you consult to a doctor it must be treated religiously. Don't let the financial problem a hindrance to success in achieving good medication.

Doctors usually check male babies for undescended testicles. If the testes has not descended after a year, then this is surgically corrected.
