ABSTRACT

We report the case of a patient of 16-year-old with severe asthenoteratonecrozoosperm; he had previous unilateral cryptorchidism treated with human gonadotropin chorionic (hCG). The determination of estradiol in semen was 780 pg/mL, gonadotropins, estradiol, prolactin and testosterone within normal limits. Likely, we think this excess of seminal estradiol may be the origin of damage in the patient’s sperm.
