Abstract

The article presents the results of a clinical evaluation of 39 boys with hypospadias aged 10—15 years. The examination included clinical assessment of pubertal development, and Doppler ultrasound scan of the gonads, transrectal ultrasound of the prostate in adolescents over 14 years, the definition of serum levels of gonadotropins, sex steroids and inhibin B. Puberty in boys with hypospadias is characterized by later appearance of pubarhe, microphallus, lack of testicular blood flow, and hypotrophy of the prostate. Statistically significant difference in sexual development of boys with penile and scrotal hypospadias was detected. On the basis of the hormonal examination, a violation of function of Sertoli cells in 43% of boys with the penile hypospadias and in 68% with scrotal hypospadias was identified. Leydig cell dysfunction was not found.
