Incidence of cryptorchidism in fertile and
infertile population
• 8.96% of the cases in 212 infertile men
(Carizza et al, 1990)
• Out of 85 fertile and 1014 infertile men,
two (2.4%) and 95 (9.4%) respectively
had a history of cryptorchidism (Mieusset et
al., 1995).
• 20-27% in men with azoospermia (Lee and
Coughlin, 2001; Fedder et al, 2004).
• 3–8% with oligo-terato-asthenospermia
(Lee & Coughlin, 2001).
Incidence of infertility in cryptorchid
population
• In unilateral cryptorchidism, the incidence
of infertility may be as high as 32% and up
to 59% of men with bilateral
cryptorchidism may be infertile despite
surgical correction by orchidopexy.
(Mathews, 1997; Lee et al.,1996, 1997).
• 89% of untreated UT patients with bilateral
maldescent develop azoospermia.
(Hadziselimovic and Herzog , 2001).
