Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology: Research and Practice - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Varicocele is the most common treatable cause of male infertility affecting the young couple’s Varicocele is associated with increased incidence of abnormal sperm abnormalities including sperm count, sperm concentration, motility & abnormal morphology of sperm. Abnormally shaped sperm are not capable of fertilising the egg, because they do not function properly leading to male infertility. In testing for teratozoospermia, (abnormal sperm) sperm are collected, stained and analyzed under a microscope to detect abnormalities. These abnormalities may include heads that are large, small, tapered, or pyriform or tails that are abnormally shaped. Patients & Method: The study was conducted at R.D. Gardi Medical College, Ujjain between 8th January 2015 to 30th July 2015. Total of 50 patients in age group of 1845 with clinically proved cases of varicocele from surgical outpatient department were included in the study. The semen sample was evaluated by routine examination including total count, motility & emphasis done on sperm morphology by staining the smear by Paponicolaou method. Results: Over all of the total 50 cases the most prounced abnormality was in head 33 (16.5%) followed by abnormality of tail 27 (13.5%) & mid piece constitute (12%).
