A clinical study trial of HCG therapy in 78 selected prepubertal cryptorchids (40 unilateral and 38 bilateral) having a total of 116 undescended gonads revealed that complete descent occurred in 12.5% gonads (13% in unilateral and 12% in bilateral group). Good response was observed in only those gonads which were located in the inguinal canal and at the external ring, irrespective of it being right or left sided gonad. In patients with impalpable testes, though there was no complete descent, yet partial descent was noted in 18% (21/116 gonads). The response was better in the older children.

D003456 Cryptorchidism A developmental defect in which a TESTIS or both TESTES failed to descend from high in the ABDOMEN to the bottom of the SCROTUM. Testicular descent is essential to normal SPERMATOGENESIS which requires temperature lower than the BODY TEMPERATURE. Cryptorchidism can be subclassified by the location of the maldescended testis.

D006063 Chorionic Gonadotropin A gonadotropic glycoprotein hormone produced primarily by the PLACENTA. Similar to the pituitary LUTEINIZING HORMONE in structure and function, chorionic gonadotropin is involved in maintaining the CORPUS LUTEUM during pregnancy. CG consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is virtually identical to the alpha subunits of the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN, BETA SUBUNIT, HUMAN).
