Retractile Testes - Research Help

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys...

Hey, I need some research help, quickly. Those with Retractile

Testes know it can cause low testosterone levels and small

testicles. However, all of the literature I can find on the web says

it is a normal condition and nothing needs to be done, hmmm....

However, undescended testes have a lot of press on their ill

effects.

Now, my son apparently has the condition and his MD is refusing to be

concerned saying " retractile testes " are " Normal " . I don't want to

see him go through what I've had to live through resulting from

medical ignorance. So far, I've only been able to find one website

that references hypogonadism as a side effect of retractile testes.

Can you point me to some links that will address retractile testes

and hypogonadism? I've insisted on another urology appointment for

him that is coming up very soon.

Thanks. Seren.

I would personally have him see an endocronologist. It may help to

do some searches on endocronology to help research about

hypogonadism. I had surgery when I was a boy because of an

undesecended testicle. Then was ultimately treated by my endo for

hypogonadism a year after.

Hope this helps.
