Abstract

5 cases of cryptorchidisms were treated with H.C.G. during the period from Feb. 1980 to Sept. 1980. Among them, in 3 cases of bilateral cryptorchidism, H.C.G. effect was surprisingly excellent in doses of 5,500 I.U. of puberogen for 7 weeks, 6,000 I.U. for 4 weeks and 4,000 I.U. for 4 weeks respectively. In 2 cases of unilateral cryptorchidisms the H.C.G. effect was rather unsuccessful, but seemed to be meaningful. H.C.G. treatment was thought to be valuable prior to surgery especially in bilateral cryptorchidism.
