Question
cryptorchidism is associated with all of the following complications, except:
decrease production of testosterone
increased risk of testicular cancer
decreased germ cell production
sterility
Cryptorchidism (undescended testis) complications: Increased testicular cancer risk, decreased germ cell production (due to abnormal temperature), and sterility (from germ cell issues) are associated. Testosterone production isn't directly decreased by cryptorchidism (testosterone production is more related to Leydig cells, and cryptorchidism mainly affects germ cells/Sertoli cells). So the exception is "Decrease production of testosterone".
