Doctor Alvarez Warns on Undescended Testes Surgery
Dr. Alvarez explains that boys with undescended testes should be operated before age 40 to avoid social and psychological harm. He cites 1,417 cases by Gross and Replogle showing benefits from bringing testes into the scrotum with a newer method, notes risks of leaving testes in the abdomen, and contrasts this with failed hormone therapy. He also covers hepatitis bed rest, nephrosis in children, and pericardium-related venous compression, ending with a note on menopause and Alvarez booklet available for 25 cents.
