Title: Can One Join Military Service with Testicular Displacement?

According to the provisions of Clause 3 Article 4 of Circular 148/2018/TT-BQP, only citizens with health classification 1, 2, or 3 are selected for military service based on the health classification standards in Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP.

Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4 Article 9 of Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, health classification is based on the score for 8 criteria recorded in the military service health check-up form. Specifically:

- Type 1: All 8 criteria score 1;

- Type 2: At least one criterion scores 2;

- Type 3: At least one criterion scores 3;

- Type 4: At least one criterion scores 4;

- Type 5: At least one criterion scores 5;

- Type 6: At least one criterion scores 6.

The scrotal deformities that result in citizens not meeting the health conditions for military service are stipulated in item 147 Section II of Appendix 1 issued together with Joint Circular 16/2016/TTLT-BYT-BQP, including:

- Missing one testicle => 3 points;

- Uncomplicated undescended or ectopic testicle on one side => 3T points;

- Complicated undescended or ectopic testicle on one side => 4T points;

....

Thus, among the scrotal deformities affecting the health standards for military service, testicular deviation is not included. Therefore, if you meet other conditions for selection, you are still eligible to participate in military service as prescribed.

Respectfully!
