The usual testicular location, either low or high in the scrotum, as well as testis ascent into suprascrotal position at least once a week from a usually scrotal position reported by the patient to occur spontaneously and regularly, were recorded in 85 fertile and 1014 infertile men, including 95 with a history of cryptorchism. The frequency of at least one testis being in a high scrotal location was similar in fertile (16.5%) and non-cryptorchid infertile (17%) men but higher in previously cryptorchid infertile men (27.2%), a difference probably due to cryptorchism. Testicular ascent was more frequent when scrotal location was high rather than low. An ascending testis was encountered more frequently in previously cryptorchid (30.4%) than in non-cryptorchid infertile men without any history of cryptorchism (18.3%) or in fertile men (11.8%). Moreover, in infertile men, spermatogenesis was more depressed in cases of testicular ascent than when both testes were never ascending, independently of a varicocele. Testis ascent could be a risk factor for spermatogenesis in infertile men without any history of maldescended testicle.
