“…10 In present study the percentage is less and the possible reason for this discrepancy might be the lower reference limit for sperm concentration used in her study which was 20 million/ml. Bodal et al (2014) reported 43 % male factor as a cause of infertility. 8 The results of male factor as a cause of infertility in present study was similar to the study done by Bodal et al…”

INTRODUCTIONVaricocele has first been described as early as first century B.C.1 Celsus wrote "when the disease has spread over the testicle and its cord, the testicle sinks a little lower and becomes smaller than its fellow, in as much as its nutrition has become defective". The earliest description of varicocele in the modern literature was in 1885 by Barwell.1 Varicocele is a very common finding in young men. It is an abnormal enlargement and tortuosity of the pampiniform plexus of veins in the spermatic cord.2 The prevalence of varicocele is approximately 15% in general population, 25%-40% among men with primary infertility and 45% to 81% among men with secondary infertilty.2 Isolated left-sided lesions are seen in 78% to 93% of varicocele patients, ABSTRACTBackground: Despite various studies published in the recent years, efficacy of varicocelectomy and its influence on semen parameters, particularly sperm count, motility and morphology has not yet been determined. Conflicting results obtained in different studies, accounts for sparked interest in varicocele management and its effects on seminal parameters. Therefore, present study was designed in an attempt to evaluate the effect of varicocelectomy on the semen parameters by analyzing reports that included men with varicoceles who had both preoperative and postoperative semen examination done. Methods: The present prospective study enrolled fifty patients. Varicocele was graded by Dubin grading system by palpation in standing and during Valsalva maneuver under adequate exposure and illumination. Macro and microscopic assessment of semen samples was carried out according to WHO guidelines. The surgical approach used for varicocelectomy was inguinal (Modified Ivanissevich procedure). Results: Significant improvement in semen parameters viz sperm counts/ml, sperm counts/ejaculate and sperm motility were observed after varicocelectomy. We noted no effect of patient's age on the degree of improvement in semen parameters post operatively. Preoperatively, men with Grade III varicoceles had lower sperm counts and sperm motility, but significant improvement was observed post-operatively compared to men with Grades I and II varicoceles. Conclusions: Our study supports the fact that, varicocele exerts a deleterious effect upon sperm motility, concentration and repair of varicocele leads to improvement in these seminal parameters. The repair of larger varicocele seems to be a predictor for better post-repair semen parameters. Varicocele is a treatable cause of male infertility (primary and secondary), so patients undergoing varicocelectomy should have a pre-operative and postoperative semen examination done routinely.

Background: In India, the prevalence of primary infertility ranges from 3.9% to 16.8%. Male factor contributes 40-50% of this. Male factor infertility is indicated by decreased sperm concentration, reduced motility, vitality or abnormal sperm morphology. Semen analysis is the single most important investigation to detect male factor infertility. The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence of abnormal semen parameters among males in infertile couples and their association with contributing factors.Methods: This cross-sectional hospital-based study was carried out in the Department of Pathology at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital. A total of 400 cases were analyzed during a period of 6 months. Detailed history of the couple was taken. Semen analysis was done using automated semen analyzer (SQA-vision) after 3 days of abstinence according to the WHO 5th edition 2010 guidelines. The results were analysed using excel sheet and SPSS software.Results: In the present study, 122 cases (30.5%) out of 400 cases had abnormal semen parameters. Most common abnormality detected was asthenozoospermia (14.3%) followed by oligozoospermia (13.8%), azoospermia (10.5%) and teratozoospermia (10.5%). There was significant association of alcohol intake, obesity and trauma with abnormal semen parameters.Conclusions: Asthenozoospermia was the most common abnormality noted in this study. Lifestyle modifications along with timely medical attention in male partners of infertile couples can improve the semen quality.
