The aim of this study is to determine the percentage of spermatozoa with abnormal morphology in ejaculates of men with Varicocele by morphometric measurements. Cytological and morphometric studies were performed on sperm samples according to the WHO criteria on 329 patients with vascular disease Varicocele and a control group of 20 healthy men. The results showed the highest percentage of spermatozoa with head anomalies (64%), while tail anomalies and cytoplasmic droplets were rarely observed. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest a narrow dependence between the degree of degenerative changes in the morpho-functional characteristics of spermatozoa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
