Sperm DNA Fragmentation in Infertile Men With Varicocele: Clinical Epidemiology and Comparative Assessment of Microsurgical Varicocelectomy and Antioxidant Therapy
This study reveals comparable varicocele prevalence between subfertile (29.5%) and fertile men (27.2%), with impaired semen quality and elevated SDF levels in subfertile cases. Microsurgical varicocelectomy proved most effective, while antioxidant therapy offered a viable alternative or adjunct for non-surgical candidates, underscoring the need for tailored varicocele infertility treatments.
