Hormonal treatment for unilateral undescended testes continues to be recommended in some countries. We reviewed the literature in favor and against this recommendation. Since the paternity rate of men with a history of unilateral undescended testes only treated with surgery is normal, the effectiveness of hormonal treatment to produce testicular descent is low, the cost is considerable, and there are potential adverse effects, hormonal treatment for boys with unilateral undescended testes should no longer be recommended.
在一些国家，仍然推荐对单侧隐睾进行激素治疗。我们回顾了支持和反对这一建议的文献。由于仅接受手术治疗的单侧隐睾男性的生育力正常，因此激素治疗使睾丸下降的效果较低，成本相当高，且存在潜在的不良反应，因此不应再推荐对单侧隐睾男孩进行激素治疗。
