Abstract:
The treatment of cryptorchidism is nowadays based on one of the following drugs: chorionic gonadotropins, FSH, LHRH analogues. The chorionic gonadotropin treatment is the first choice treatment given in quite similar way by various Authors. It is furthermore the less expensive. Its activity is mainly pharmacological. The chorionic gonadotropin can be administered both as monotherapy as well as associated. The associated treatments are with FSH and with LHRH analogues. The latter way of treatment requires a skilled experience because of the precise diagnosis needed to administer the LHRH analogues.
