Experience with 425 Subfertile Male Patients

    View All Author Information

    Subfertility was evaluated in 425 men. Varicoceles were diagnosed in 37.4 per cent of these patients and surgical correction of the varicocele in 68 men resulted in a 65 per cent improvement in semen quality. Idiopathic abnormalities were found in 25.4 per cent of the patients. Since the study group was heterogenous stereotyped or empirical treatment cannot hope to be successful if uniformly applied. Other specific causes of male subfertility are identified and therapeutic options are discussed.
