Varicocele is the main cause of male infertility. Treatment stops continuous damage to spermatogenesis, thereby potentially improving fertility. Among all the available procedures, the antegrade scrotal sclerotherapy (ASS), a combined radiological-surgical approach first introduced by Tauber, is gaining more popularity due to its minimal invasiveness. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who was subjected to a colonic resection after antegrade scrotal sclerotherapy for varicocele. The procedure was necessary due to the embolization of venous anastomosis between the spermatic and mesenteric veins, which were not detectable at the preoperative phlebography.

BACKGROUND Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after at 1 year of regular unprotected intercourse. Male contributes to almost half of infertility cases and in almost 30 % of cases, no definite aetiology is identified, and hence, male infertility is labelled idiopathic in these cases. Oxidative energy production mechanisms are almost always accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS), generation whose too much concentrations can lead to extensive protein damage and cytoskeletal modifications and inhibit cellular mechanisms. A number of laboratory techniques have been developed to evaluate oxidative stress by measuring ROS level in the semen. In recent times antioxidant supplements have been proposed as useful agents to increase the scavenging capacity of seminal plasma, controversy still surrounds their actual clinical utility. METHODS 34 male patients were included in this study. Reactive oxygen species detection was done by Flowcytometry using dichloroflurosecindiacetate (DCFH-DA). RESULTS The ROS in the patient group was found to be significantly higher 29.821 (5.6300 than the control group 22.162 (1.6331 having p value < 0.001). The ROS (29.821 ± 5.6300) was found to be significantly reduced after 3 months of antioxidant therapy which got reduced to 19.893 ± 4.2299 respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that infertile men have significantly higher level of ROS (as measured by flowcytometry) & lower sperm count (oligospermia), decreased progressive & total motility and increased immotile sperms as compared to healthy fertile men. This study further proves that antioxidant therapy based on a combination of carnitine, zinc, coq10, lycopene and vitamin C & E for 3 months is associated with a decrease of ROS as measured by flowcytometry & a variable degree of improvement in above mentioned semen parameters.

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to observe the adverse effects of high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in idiopathic male infertility and the role of a combined antioxidant therapy for six months to overcome the detrimental effects of ROS. A prospective study including 185 infertile male was conducted at Institute of Reproductive Medicine (IRM) from January 2014 to April 2015. All the major sperm parameters as well as ROS, antioxidant level and the effect of high ROS level were evaluated before and after the therapy. A significant improvement in sperm motility and concentration were observed after 6 months of therapy. Antioxidant level had increased and ROS level had decreased significantly after the antioxidant treatment. Improvement in morphology and leukocyte concentration were observed though not clinically significant. Conclusion This combined antioxidant therapy may improve sperm quality after continuous 6 months of treatment. However, further study is needed regarding this experiment for validating the trend.

Background: Seminal hyperviscosity has been shown to be associated with male infertility. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of hyperviscosity in semen of Malawian males seeking infertility treatment. Methods: A total of 120 men visiting our laboratory for fertility assessment donated semen samples. The semen samples were assessed for hyperviscosity, volume, concentration, total motility, progressive motility, viability, and morphology. Results: Out of the 120 samples analyzed, 34 samples were hyperviscous representing 28.3%. No significant statistical differ- ence in semen volume between samples with normal viscosity compared to those with hyperviscosity (p>0.05). Sperm concen- tration, progressive motility, total motility, viability, and normal morphology were significantly higher in the normal viscosity group when compared to the abnormal viscocity group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Hyperviscosity affects a significant number of men in Malawi and may be the cause of decreased fertility as it was associated with poor sperm concentration, total motility, progressive motility, viability, and morphology.
