Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaahuatia e tētahi taitamariki te wā whakarihariha i kitea ai he mate pukupuku i a ia mā te whakamātautau hapūtanga. Ko Byron Geldard, no Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, i hoatu te whakamātautau e nga taote no te mea ka taea e te mate te meinga te tinana ki te hanga i te taua hormone whakaputaina i roto i te hapūtanga.

Ko Byron Geldard, i kitea he mate pukupuku ki te whekau mā te whakamātautau hapūtanga. Ka taea e te mate te meinga te tinana ki te whakaputa i te hormone taua rite whakaputaina i roto i te hapūtanga. Whai muri i te hua 'pai', ka timata te 19-tau-tau ki te marama o te maimoatanga i te Whare Hauora o Addenbrooke, Cambridge. Ka mea a Mr Geldard: 'Kei te tino tino pono te mea katoa. 'I reira ahau me te whakamātautau hapūtanga pai me te tupu i roto i ahau tetahi mea. I whakaaro ahau ka mutu ahau i roto i tētahi kiriata pakipūmeka.' Ka kitea e ngā whakamātautau hapūtanga i te kāinga tētahi hormone e kiia nei ko te beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) e kitea ana i roto i te toto me te urine e whakaputaina ana e te placenta e tipu ana. E ai ki ngā tohunga, ka taea hoki e te hCG beta te tohu i te mate pukupuku o te testis. Ko tā Tākuta Danish Mazhar, Kaiwhakaako Tohunga Hauora i Cambridge University Hospitals, 'Ko te hormone hapūtanga (HCG) he maha (engari ehara i te mea ko te wa katoa) e whakaputaina ana e nga pukupuku testicular. "I te wahi e whakaputaina ana, ka taea te whakamahi mo nga kaupapa tirotiro me te tirotiro. "I ngā take kua horapa te mate pukupuku, ka tino tiketike pea te taumata o te HCG, ā, mēnā e ōrite ana te pikitia ā-roto ki te mate pukupuku o te testicular, ka taea te whakamahi i tētahi whakamātautau hapūtanga, he whakamātautau mō te HCG i roto i te tākuta, hei whakatau i te mate". Ka kitea e ngā whakamātautau hapūtanga i te kāinga tētahi hormone e kiia nei ko te beta gonadotropin chorionic tangata (HCG) e kitea ana i roto i te toto me te urine e whakaputaina ana e te placenta e tipu ana. E ai ki ngā tohunga, ka taea hoki e te beta HCG te tohu i te mate pukupuku o te testis. Ko Rob Cornes, he Kaitiaki Whakaaturanga Mate Mate Mate i te Orchid atawhai, i kii ki a MailOnline: HCG...
Ko Byron Geldard, 19, e mamae ana i te mamae i tōna taha me tōna kōhao. I kitea e ngā whakamātautau he pukupuku i roto i tōna puku, engari kāore i te mārama i tīmata mai te mate pukupuku. Kātahi ka tonoa ia kia whakarato i tētahi tauira urine mō te whakamātautau hapūtanga. Ka taea e te mate pukupuku testicular te meinga te tinana ki te whakaputa i te hormone taua rite whakaputaina i roto i te hapūtanga - a ka whakapumautia te tātaritanga. I muri i ngā marama e whitu o te maimoatanga, kua kore te mate pukupuku i a ia ināianei.
