Abstract:
A diagnostic-stimulation test with hCG (Pregnyl, Organon) was developed for demonstration of latent testicular deficit. The test was worked out on clinically healthy men and was used to diagnose cases of anorchidism and cryptorchidism. This stimulation test may be applied in clinical andrology as a noninvasive and highly sensitive method.
