Scrotal hemorrhage after testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) is uncommon in clinical operation. Unfortunately, two masturbation difficulty males experienced scrotal hemorrhage after TESA associated with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5i) administration. Till now, reports about such cases are scarce. In this retrospective study, 504 men with TESA operation in Center for Reproductive Medicine, ...

One of the most frequent consequences of allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) in both males and females is gonadal insufficiency. We report the case of a 27-year-old myelodysplastic male who developed azoospermia after allogeneic transplantation of haemopoietic stem cells from his HLA-identical sister. Post-transplant azoospermia was alternated with intermittent severe o...

BACKGROUND Repeated in vitro Fertilization (IVF) failure together with Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is one of the distressing situations leading couples to search for alternative treatment options. For such patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) who have experienced Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome, mild ovarian stimulation with in vitro oocyte maturation could be a promi...

OBJECTIVE Inhibin-B (Inh-B) is produced by Sertoli cells and controls Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) secretion through a negative feedback mechanism. The primary aim of this study was to compare Iotanh-B with FSH as predictors of the recovery of sperm in testicular fine needle aspirate in men with azoospermia. DESIGN In 51 men with azoospermia basal values of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), FSH...

Testicular and epididymal spermatozoa are used routinely for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to treat men with obstructive azoospermia. Little is known of the effects of obstruction and stasis on the DNA of these spermatozoa, particularly in the epididymis where spermatozoa have been retained for long periods. Surgical epididymal aspiration for ICSI could provide spermatozoa that are se...

Microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration was a great advance in the therapy of patients with non-reconstructable, obstructive azoospermia, most notably congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. Using conventional in-vitro fertilization, pregnancies were rarely achieved because the rate of oocyte fertilization was extremely poor. However, the use of retrieved spermatozoa in conjunction ...

Azoospermia is classified as obstructive azoospermia (OA) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), each having very different etiologies and treatments. The etiology, diagnosis, and management of azoospermia were reviewed and relevant literature summarized. Differentiation between these two etiologies is of paramount importance and is contingent upon thorough history and physical examination and i...

Abstract Study question Does follicular flushing increase the number of cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) retrieved compared to single aspiration? Summary answer Follicular increases COCs aspiration. What is known already On basis published meta-analyses, does not seem and probability pregnancy. However, eligible RCTs in these meta-analyses are characterized by significant heterogeneity regarding...
