Role of the family in the prevention and treatment of cryptorchidism aftereffects

Abstract

Prevention and therapy of infertility are an urgent social task. According to statistics, men are responsible for 50 % of all sterile marriages. One of the reasons for male sterility is cryptorchidism, since untimely or improper treatment leads to impaired spermatogenic function. Success in dealing with the consequences of cryptorchidism largely depends on the parents familiarizing themselves with the main issues of the clinic, the diagnosis and treatment of cryptorchidism. Early detection of the disease, timely access to a specialist doctor, beginning treatment as early as possible, careful adherence to medical prescriptions at the stage before cryptorchidism is cured in children are the key to preventing hypogonadism and infertility in adults who have had cryptorchidism in childhood. The solution to these problems is impossible without the activity of parents interested in having happy children and healthy grandchildren.
