Cryptorchidism hub
Cryptorchidism is defined as failure of testicular descent into the scrotum. Cryptorchid testes do not usually produce spermatozoa and probably produce somewhat subnormal amounts of androgen. Experiments with laboratory animals shows that cryptorchidism can be induced readily through in utero exposure to anti-androgenic and estrogenic contaminants.Overviews - Full text articles - Diagnosis & Treatment - Case reports - Research projects
