Can cryptorchidism cause azoospermia?

By Paloma de la Fuente Vaquero M.D., Ph.D., M.Sc. (gynecologist).
Last Update: 02/28/2022

Cryptorchidism is the incomplete descent of one or both testicles through the inguinal canal, which causes the testicles to be subjected to a higher temperature than the one existing in the scrotal sac. This increase in temperature negatively affects sperm production.
