This is a complex case that needs specialist input from a urologist/andrologist. The small testis size and azoospermia indicate severely reduced sperm production from that side. The elevated
LH with normal
testosterone is a sign of compensated testicular dysfunction â your body is working harder to maintain hormone levels, which means the testicular reserve is reduced. At age 27, orchiopexy has minimal benefit for fertility (the optimal window is before age 2), though it may still be discussed for cancer risk reduction. The combination of cryptorchidism and azoospermia with normal
FSH makes genetic testing important â Y chromosome microdeletion and karyotype must be done, as results will directly influence whether surgical sperm retrieval (TESE/micro-TESE) is worthwhile.
Next Steps
Please see a urologist/andrologist urgently. Key next steps are karyotype, Y chromosome microdeletion testing, and testicular biopsy. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
