Sequelae to genital trauma in torture victims.
Possible sequelae to genital trauma were investigated in ten male victims of torture. Two of the victims examined showed testicular atrophy. No significant difference was found in the serum concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and prolactin in those subjected to genital torture, when compared with a control group. Serum spermatocoagglutinins were not found to be increased in either of the two groups.
