[Andrological findings in adolescents with retractile testis].
Approximately between 9 and 19 years of age 28 adolescents with one and 26 with both retractile testicles were andrologically examined and followed up. Retractile gonads during puberty often remained of subnormal size with the long axis shorter than 34 mm. In both groups in 50 to 60% of cases low sperm values were ascertained. The findings of azoospermia were only sporadic. In 40 cases a repeated examination of ejaculates after longer intervals was carried out. It was found that sperm values remained mostly on the level of the first examination which was performed in the majority of cases in the same year with the first emission of semen or in the following year. A more pronounced amelioration of sperm findings was ascertained only in about 12% of cases.
