The Effects of Varicocele on DNA Morphology
Journal Title: Journal of Andrology & Gynaecology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Varicocele is one of the major causes of infertility in men. Although there are different theories related to the pathophysiology of the varicocele, the exact pathophysiologic mechanism remains unknown. Sperm DNA damage may be the cause of undiagnosed infertility problems. The standard semen examination may not be sufficient to determine the etiology of infertility. For this reason, extra tests are needed to identify sperm DNA damage. Despite conflicting reports, many studies have shown that varicocele repair improves the quality of sperm DNA.
