Cryptorchid incidence

Cryptorchidism is a congenital anomaly in the male genitalia of children consisting of the lack of descent of one or both testes into the scrotum, with the risk that the testicle atrophies and is present between 2 and 5 percent of newborn children, especially premature infants.

It can be caused by hormone deficiency during pregnancy or the first months after birth; Also due to genetic and anatomical alterations that consist of anomalies of the tissues that participate in testicular descent.

Your relationship with fertility?

In men with a history of cryptorchidism, the seminal parameters are altered, let us remember that male fertility depends on adequate production of sperm quality, a factor that cryptorchidism does not allow in its entirety because by not descending the testicles and remaining in the cavity Abdominal or inguinal canal, the temperature where they are lodged is higher than the optimal one to allow the adequate production of the sperm, which can cause the death of the geminal cells, resulting in a sperm-free ejaculate.

There are two cases of cryptorchidism:

Unilateral:It is when a testicle does not descend and can lead to a possible reduction of male fertility.

Bilateral:It is when both testes do not descend and in 31 and 42 percent of men with this type of cryptorchidity, oligozoospermia and azoospermia are detected, respectively.

How to treat it?

It is about the first year of life; It can be through surgical or hormonal, but when none of the above works, in adulthood in vitro fertilization is an excellent treatment that will allow the couple to achieve the dream of being parents.
