Abstract

Semen quality was poor at diagnosis and deteriorated further after orchiectomy compared with pretreatment values. Our findings indicate that in some patients the most appropriate time for cryopreservation of semen is before orchiectomy. Androgen production was maintained by increased luteinizing hormone stimulation after orchiectomy.
