Effects of Varicocelectomy on Serum Testosterone Levels among Infertile Men with Varicocele
Authors
Abstract:
Objective The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of varicocelectomy on serum testosterone levels and semen quality in infertile men who suffer from varicocele. MaterialsAndMethods This prospective study enrolled 115 subjects with clinical varicocele grades II and III and 240 fertile men as the control group. Total volume of testosterone serum level (ng/dl) and semen quality were compared before and after microscopic varicocelectomy. We normalized testosterone serum levels for age, grade, and testis size basis. SPSS 20 software was used to analyze the data. All results of continuous variables were reported as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was set at a P

P-27: The Effect of Varicocelectomy onThe Serum Testosterone Level in Infertile Men with Grade (II - III) Varicocele
Background: To determine whether men with varicoceles have lower testosterone levels than those without and to ascertain if testosterone levels increase after varicocelectomy and or to determine whether the varicocele grade is related to the degree of improvement in serum testosterone levels after varicocelectomy and also older age is associated with improvements in testosterone after varicocel...

Varicocele is most often surgically repaired due to male infertility, however, has recently been linked to low serum testosterone. This paper serves to review the current literature regarding varicocele and its subsequent repair on serum testosterone. Twenty-eight human studies were identified with fifteen showing improved serum testosterone after repair. The majority of the studies that demons...
full textP-26: Comparison of Serum Testosterone Level between Men with and without Varicocele
Background: Varicocele suggests that in addition to effects on spermatogenesis, varicocele also impairs testicular Leydig cell function with a consequential decrease in testosterone production; correction of the varicocele may result in improved serum testosterone levels. Materials and Methods: We measured preoperative serum testosterone levels in 40 infertile men with varicoceles varicocele (g...

Background: Varicocele is recognized as the most common cause of male factor infertility and is found in 15% of the general population. This prevalence increases to 35% in men presenting with primary infertility and between 70 to 80% in men presenting with secondary infertility. The effect of varicocele on Leydig cell function and testosterone production has been always a question. In this stud...
