Abstract

The editorial discusses the need for reclassification of male hypogonadism, a condition characterized by gonadal dysfunction and impaired spermatogenesis. It explores the various forms of hypogonadism, including functional and organic causes, and highlights the role of genetics in determining susceptibility to hypogonadism. The article also presents a study on fertile eunuch syndrome, emphasizing the importance of reclassifying hypogonadism to better understand its manifestations. Additionally, it addresses the debate on medical versus surgical treatment of cryptorchidism, suggesting that medical therapy may be a safer and less invasive option. [Extracted from the article]
