Abstract:

Background: Varicocele is related with poor semen quality and sperm chromatin integrity which possibility decreases the spontaneous pregnancy potential. Some of the varicocele individuals have normal semen parameters with failed pregnancy. It is also one of the most controversial issues in the field ofinfertility, especially regarding why, when and for whom varicocelectomy should be implemented. It is unclear that whether varicocelectomy is beneficial for varicocele individuals with normal sperm parameter. Therefore, we aimed to compare spontaneous pregnancy rate in normozoospermic and non-normozoospermic varicocele individual undergoing varicocelectomy. Materials and Methods: Varicocele individual with grade II or III referred in Isfahan fertility and infertility divided tonormozoospermic group (n=81) and non-normozoospermic (n=64) groupsaccordingly World Health Organization guideline 2010. Cumulative spontaneous pregnancyafter varicocelectomy followed up during 12 month after varicocelectomy. Results: Spontaneous pregnancy achievedup to 50% in normozoospermic group and 45 % in non-normozoospermic group. Conclusion: Our study revealed that varicocelectomy has beneficial effect on normozoospermic and non-normozoospermic individual to achieve spontaneous pregnancy.

VARICOCELE SIZE AND SEMEN QUALITY

In this study we have described our varicocele cases in terms of associated symptoms/signs. In addition, we have tested the correlation between semen parameters and varicocele grades and compared the relative frequencies of associated symptoms/signs in different varicocele grades. 1 19 referred cases of varicocele were categorized based on clinical criteria into 3 grades by one examiner. T...

Effect of chromatin condensation on frozen-thawed sperm DNA integrity in normozoospermic men

Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...

O-17: Study of Sperm Protein Profile in Oigo- and Normozoospermic Patients with Varicocele Using Two Dimensional Eectrophoresis

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the sperm protein profile between oligo- and normozoospermic patients with varicocele. Materials and Methods: Sperm samples of 20 normozoospermic and 20 oligozoospermic patients with varicocele were characterized using two dimensional electrophoresis (group 1 and group 2, respectively). Differences in protein expression were established using gel...

P-11: Evaluation of Heat Shock Protein A2 in Male Rats before and after Varicocele Induction

Background: Varicocele is a major cause of male infertility, as it may impair spermatogenesis through several distinct pathophysiological mechanisms including hypoxia, renal-adrenal reflux, hormonal dysfunction, autoimmunity, oxidative stress and hyperthermia. HSP70s are members of the heat shock protein (HSP) family, which are considered intracellular chaperones. Their expressions can increase...

Background: Evaluation and comparison of total acrosin activity along with DNA integrity in the semen samples obtained from the varicocele individuals before and after the surgery and also in fertile individuals. Materials and Methods: Semen parameters, protamine deficiency, DNA fragmentation and Total acrosin activity were measured in patients with a clinical diagnosed varicocele of grade II o...
