Article Synopsis
- Varicocele is a leading cause of male infertility, and while microsurgical varicocelectomy can improve sperm quality, many men with the condition are not infertile and spontaneous pregnancies post-surgery can vary significantly.
- Advances in proteomic analysis are being explored for diagnosing male infertility, focusing on seminal plasma proteins which play a crucial role in fertilization.
- The complexity of varicocele as a disease suggests that using post-genomic technologies could enhance understanding of the factors affecting sperm production and improve predictions of treatment success.
Article Synopsis
- * A survey created by Global Andrology Forum experts was disseminated online, collecting responses from 479 ED specialists across 62 countries, leading to insights on the most commonly used RT methods.
- * Results indicate that RT is becoming more popular, especially among middle-aged patients with mild-to-moderate ED, but the lack of robust evidence and guidelines highlights a need for further research in this area.
A review of controversial issues about the terminology on male infertility and reproductive function, which is currently used, as well as proposals for updating clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility and men in infertile couples are presented in the article. An algorithm is described, the elements of which ensure referral of patients based on the possibility and timing of restoration of reproductive function, taking into account the reproductive health of a woman, as well as increasing the likelihood of successful treatment aimed at the birth of a healthy child.

- Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a prevalent and complex issue with varied treatment options and no definitive guidelines, leading to differing management practices internationally.
- A comprehensive survey with 336 responses from specialists in 49 countries explored current medical and surgical strategies for NOA, analyzing results against existing guidelines and offering expert recommendations.
- Key findings included diverse approaches to hormonal therapy, significant variation in sperm retrieval success rates, and differing protocols around varicocele repair and follicle-stimulating hormone cutoff levels for sperm retrieval.
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted from July to September 2022, a questionnaire gathered responses from 367 doctors in 49 countries, focusing on how they diagnose NOA through methods like hormone tests and genetic analyses.
- * The survey identified that while many practices align with guidelines, significant differences in approaches were found, underscoring the need for standardized, evidence-based international guidelines for NOA evaluation.
