Cryptorchidism is a common genital anomaly diagnosed at birth or during childhood. Genetic and/or environmental factors that alter expression or function of hormones crucial for testicular descent, insulin-like 3, and testosterone, may contribute to cryptorchidism. When identified at birth, surgical treatment is indicated by 6 months of age if testes fail to descend, or at the time of diagnosis in older children. A laparoscopic approach is preferred for abdominal testes. Early surgical therapy may reduce the risk of subfertility and/or malignancy.
隐睾症是一种常见的生殖器先天畸形，可在出生时或儿童期被诊断出来。改变对睾丸下降至关重要的激素、胰岛素样 3 和睾酮的表达或功能的遗传和/或环境因素可能导致隐睾症。如果睾丸未能下降，出生后 6 个月内或在大龄儿童确诊时，应进行手术治疗。腹腔镜方法适用于腹部睾丸。早期手术治疗可能降低不孕和/或恶性肿瘤的风险。
