Abstract
Hypofertile male subjects (34) with either oligospermia or azoospermia underwent infertility evaluation with assay of serum follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone and testicular biopsy. Cytogenetic analysis of testicular tissue and peripheral leukocytes was completed on 11 patients. Fifteen male subjects underwent bilateral contrast vasography. These studies permitted segretation of the hypofertile male population from those with post-germinal hypofertility, primary germinal hypofertility or pre-germinal hypofertility. Retrospective analysis indicates that segretation of the hypofertile male population permits optimum selection for [pharmaceutical] treatment intervention.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
