  • Title: Varicoceles and male infertility.
    Author: Boyd AS.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1988 Feb; 37(2):252-8. PubMed ID: 3278567.
    Abstract:
    Approximately 15 percent of the postpubertal male population develops varicoceles, and one-third of men seen in fertility clinics have this lesion. Semen samples commonly show diminished sperm counts, decreased motility and immature cellular morphology. Treatment is usually surgical, although percutaneous methods are now available. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent the testicular insult.
