[The causes of male sterility in Siberia].

Filippov Os, A A Radionchenko

Abstract

The investigation was covered by the WHO program "Human Reproduction". The epidemiological survey in Tomsk has established 16.7% infertility rate. Prevalence and pattern of male infertility in families were studied. Disorders of sperm fertilizing capacity were observed in 45% of males from infertile couples. The main cause of male fertility defects was varicocele (11.3%). The percentage of idiopathic pathospermia remains high (20.9%). Inflammatory diseases of sex glands in males are not the leading cause of male infertility.
