This paper studies the gonadal-hormonal and spermatic function of 48 adults (over 18 years old) who were treated in childhood for cryptorchidism by medical, surgical or both treatments. We measure plasmatic levels of FSH, LH, testosterone and prolactin of 34 patients and sperm samples of 31 patients. The testicular hormonal function was not disturbed except in four patients with high levels of prolactin (> 20 ng/ml) without symptoms. The spermatic function was disturbed in bilateral cryptorchidism mainly. The better sperm quality and testicular volume were at patients treated with hormonal treatment before surgical treatment.
本文研究了48名在儿童期因隐睾症接受过药物、手术或两种治疗的成年人（18岁以上）的性腺激素和精子功能。我们测量了34名患者的促卵泡激素（FSH）、促黄体生成素（LH）、睾酮和催乳素的血浆水平以及31名患者的精液样本。除了4名催乳素水平高（>20 ng/ml）但无症状的患者外，睾丸激素功能未受干扰。精子功能主要在双侧隐睾症中受到干扰。在手术治疗前接受激素治疗的患者中，精子质量和睾丸体积更好。
