Abstract
⺠Some studies suggest that the rate of cryptorchidism has increased since the 1950s. ⺠Lifestyle factors and environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals EDCs may have a role. ⺠Chemicals with estrogenic/antiandrogenic effect have caused cryptorchidism in animals. ⺠Some epidemiological studies suggest linkage between EDC exposure and cryptorchidism. ⺠More studies are needed to confirm prior results and to evaluate combined exposures.
