Hypogonadism:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may consist of hormonal replacement, especially with testosterone, methyltestosterone, estrogen, progesterone, or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for primary hypogonadism, and with hCG for secondary hypogonadism. Fertility can’t be restored after permanent testicular damage. However, eunuchism that results from hypothalamic-pituitary lesions can be corrected when administration of gonadotropins stimulates normal testicular function.
Undescended testes:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
If the testes don’t descend spontaneously by age 1 year, surgical correction may be indicated. Orchiopexy secures the testes in the scrotum and is commonly performed before the boy reaches age 4 (optimum age is 1 to 2). Orchiopexy prevents sterility and excessive trauma from abnormal positioning. It also prevents harmful psychological effects. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or testosterone may be given to stimulate descent. However, hormonal therapy with hCG is ineffective if the testes are located in the abdomen.
