OBJECTIVE
To investigate, in a retrospective study, whether smoking cigarettes increases the effect of varicocele on sperm morphology.
METHODS
The semen quality of 2 groups of patients with varicocele were compared, those who smoked (n = 121) and those who did not (n = 158). The semen parameters
The varicocele may be a cofactor that, when potentiated by other cofactors (i.e., gonadotoxins), causes male infertility. This hypothesis could explain the unpredictable effects of the varicocele on fertility. Male rats with experimental varicoceles, sham surgery, or no surgery were treated for 30
OBJECTIVE
To compare the clinical characteristics of primarily and secondarily infertile men with varicocele.
METHODS
Cross-sectional analysis.
METHODS
Male infertility clinic, tertiary health care center.
METHODS
Two hundred ninety-five infertile men with palpable varicoceles.
METHODS
Clinical
Testicular exocrine (semen analysis) and endocrine (plasma LH, FSH, prolactin and testosterone) function was assessed in 119 consecutive healthy men presenting for screening as potential sperm donors. Since these volunteers were unbiased with respect to their fertility status, this sample of the
OBJECTIVE
What are the effects of smoking on the functional aspects of the sperm, the levels of lipid peroxidation and the protein profile of seminal plasma in patients with varicocele?
CONCLUSIONS
In men with varicocele, smoking is associated with altered semen quality, decreased sperm functional
We define varicocele as the dilation of the veins that make up the pampiniform plexus, which is made up of three branches, the internal spermatic, deferential and external spermatic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has determined that varicocele is an important cause of male infertility. This
Infertility is a global public health problem that affects 15% of couples of childbearing age. Male infertility is involved in 20 to 50% of cases. These figures are sharply increasing around the world. Several factors may be responsible for this infertility with especially hormonal, Semen quality may be affected by many factors, as there is evidence that conditions as varicocele, criptorquidia, orchitis and bacterian infections; as well as to exposure to physical agents as heat, or chemical substances, or ingestion of alcohol and drugs, may affect semen quality. The objective
This study is based on file forms of 258 patients from the Near and Middle East. We completed an evaluation and statistical analysis of the basic frequencies of anamnestic data, clinical findings, and laboratory analyses. The average patient age was 35 y, and that of their female partners 28 y; 90%
The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of the parameters that might have an effect on the success of microscopic testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) in infertile patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). Between 2003 and 2014, 860 patients with NOA were
A cross sectional study was done to determine the important etiological profile of infertility status of male in Dhaka city. A total of eighty seven patients of male infertility were selected purposively. Among them, highest percentage of patients, 44(50.6%) were in between the 21-30 years old,
OBJECTIVE
Inguinal hernia repair and orchidopexy are among the most common operations in boys. The impact on future fertility has not been conclusively defined. This study evaluates sperm quality after previous inguinal surgery.
METHODS
Spermiograms of men with a desire to conceive children were
In the recent years, male infertility and subfertility has increased, which is attributed to many factors. So our study focuses the effects of age, occupation, smoking, alcohol and varicocele on the semen quality. Detailed history and examination of 93 cases (fulfilled inclusion criterion) was done.
A study of semen analysis and testicular biopsy was done in 50 infertile males. Semen analysis and testicular biopsy form important screening tools. Commonest age group affected was 21-40 years with sterility of 2-6 years duration. Smoking or tobacco chewing for longer periods may change semen
