Abstract

27 Section of Endocrinology 645 testicles, my own practice is to leave them alone to As to the treatment of the retractile descend as and when they will, reserving hormone treatment for such cases as show a lack of these substances by obvious sexual' underdevelopment. There is a tendency to talk of a course of hormone injections as if it were a trivial matter which, if it does no good, can at any rate do no harm. In my experience most children dread a course of injections intensely, as a general rule it has more mental effect upon them than an operation and I should say that Apart from this there has been a strange lack of discussion on with proper premedication. substances used the cells of the testicle. the effects of the various upon that there is no danger when the treatment is given by a competent It is not enough to say endocrinologist; far the greater number of these injections are given by general practitioners and they are not warned about the dangers of them. Any medical practitioner knows there are limits to the amounts of thyroid or adrenal extract that can be safely injected, but it
