AIM To report the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the testes used as a diagnostic tool in non-obstructive azoospermic patients. METHODS One hundred and twenty-five non-obstructive azoospermic male candidates to intracytoplasmic sperm injetion (ICSI) were analysed for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone and inhibin B plasma levels. They were cla...

We tested the hypothesis that letrozole increases sperm count in non-obstructive azoospermic or cryptozoospermic patients with a testosterone (T)/17-beta-2-oestradiol (E2) ratio <10. Forty-six patients with no chromosomal aberrations were randomized into two groups: 22 received letrozole 2.5 mg per day for 6 months (Group 1: 6 azoospermic + 16 cryptozoospermic patients), while 24 received a pla...

INTRODUCTION Testicular sperm extraction with intracytoplasmic sperm injection is the standard treatment for azoospermia. The objective of this study is to identify predictive factors of successful sperm retrieval. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2003 and May 2011, we tried testicular sperm extraction (TESE) in 74 azoospermic patients in the Reproductive Medicine Unit of Son Espases Hospit...

Abstract Study question What is sperm retrieval rate (SRR) by micro TESE and the clinical outcomes using testicular in couples with history of cryptorchidism? Summary answer NOA cryptorchidism had a higher SRR but lower ICSI compared unexplained NOA. known already Undescended testis (UT) which exposed to temperature scrotal associated impairment germ cell maturation, progressive Leydig Sertoli ...

Background: Male infertility is considered a major cause of couple as it represents 25- 50 % cases. In addition, non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) 10% all infertile men.There no definite curable treatment for such cases.&#x0D; Aim Work: The purpose this research was to assess the efficacy BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs in treating busulfan-induced wistar rats.&#x0D; Materials Methods: were extracted from ...

BACKGROUND The most common chromosomal abnormality due to non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is Klinefelter syndrome (KS) which occurs in 1-1.72 out of 500-1000 male infants. The probability of retrieving sperm as the outcome could be asymmetrically different between patients with and without KS, therefore logistic regression analysis is not a well-qualified test for this type of data. This stud...
