HCG Stimulation test for bilateral UDT

Check a baseline testosterone level and have the
patient take 500 units of hCG subcutaneous daily for seven days.
Repeat the patient’s testosterone level at that time to
see if he is able to make testosterone. If there is a
significant change between the baseline and the stimulated
testosterone value, then the patient does have viable testicular
tissue and will need to have a bilateral orchiopexy.
