Abstract

Retractile testes have been associated with male factor infertility. However, whether surgical correction is indicated in those males is unknown. Herein, we report a case of a 37 year old male with primary infertile for 7 years with no apparent cause other than retractile testes. Bilateral orchidopexy was done and his wife achieved spontaneous pregnancy and delivery of a healthy girl.

Keywords: Male infertility; Orchidopexy; Retractile testes.
