Abstract

Cryptorchidism, the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum prenatally, occurs in 2.4%-5% of newborns. Many of these testes will descend spontaneously shortly after birth, but ~23% will remain undescended unless surgery is performed. Bilaterally cryptorchid men have a six times greater risk of being infertile when compared with unilaterally cryptorchid men and the general male population. Approximately 10% of infertile men have a history of cryptorchidism and orchidopexy. The main reasons for infertility in men with a history of cryptorchidism treated by orchidopexy are maldevelopment of the testes and an improper environment for the normal development of the testes, hyperthermia, and antisperm antibodies.

隐睾和生育

隐睾症，即一个或两个睾丸在出生前不能下降到阴囊中，发生在2.4%-5%的新生儿中。这些睾丸中有许多在出生后不久就会自发下降，但除非进行手术，否则约23%的睾丸仍会下降。与单侧隐睾男性和普通男性相比，双侧隐睾男性不育的风险要高6倍。大约10%的不育男性有隐睾和睾丸切除术的病史。有隐睾病史而行睾丸切除术的男性不育的主要原因是睾丸发育不良、睾丸正常发育的环境不适宜、体温过高和抗精子抗体。
