  • Title: Aetiologic factors of male infertility in Ibadan, Nigeria.
    Author: Awojobi OA, Nkposong EO, Lawani J.
    Journal: Afr J Med Med Sci; 1983 Jun; 12(2):91-4. PubMed ID: 6322556.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective review of the case notes of 510 infertile men, testicular failure of various types was the aetiologic factor in 61% of cases, chronic epididymitis in 32% and varicocoeles in 25%. Five patients had bilateral absence of the vas deferens. It is hoped that improved health-care delivery will benefit the group of patients with preventable and potentially curable aetiologic factors like varicocoeles, chronic epididymitis and testicular torsion.
