Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: This study focus on the varying presentation, hormonal influence, and biochemical marker for a series of patient with undescended testis and their influence over descend and imaging modality and various diagnostic approaches towards the undescended testis. Materials and methods: Patients who had attended vinayaka mission medical college, karaikal with the complaints of absence of testis and infertility included in this study and it is a prospective clinical study which was carried from 2014 – 2016 June. All treatment modality were carried out according to the diagnosis confirmed by both clinically and imaging after obtaining concern from the patients. Results: all hormonal and bio chemical marker were taken for all the patients and they were evaluated. In that testosterone showed little on lower side with patients with infertility, insulin like 3 peptide was on lower side for more than fifty percent of patient mainly who were in adolescent age. In patients whose presentation of testis can’t be assessed by either clinical and ultrasonography diagnostic laparoscopy was done and testis were found out. Conclusion: Testosterone has significant effect in descend of the testis and mainly in the patients with infertility. Insulin like peptide 3 can be used as a prognostic marker to assess the viability of the testis and diagnostic laparoscopy remains gold standard invasive diagnostic tool where the testis is not seen clinically and imaging.
