What are the Treatment Options for Cryptorchidism?
The standard treatment for cryptorchidism is surgical correction, known as orchiopexy, which is typically performed between 6 months and 2 years of age. Early treatment is recommended to reduce the risk of complications, including infertility and testicular cancer. Hormonal therapy, using human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), has been explored but is less commonly used.
