Pathophysiology

Hypothalamus GnRH

GnRH Pituitary

Pituitary FSH + LH

FSH Sertoli cells for

sperm

LH Leydig cells for

testosterone + inhibin

Testosterone

Diurnal pattern

Higher in the morning

Excessive levels inhibit GnRH

Intratesticular is a separate issue

Sperm Production

74 days

16 steps

Spermatids (Stage 6 used for ICSI)

Epididymis (Sperm maturation to

allow egg penetration)

Ejaculatory Content – Seminal

vesicles 40-80% including fructose

Prostate Gland 10 – 30%

Sperm 5%

Cowper Glands 2-5%

Correctable Causes

Varicocele

15% males, left side, right side suggests secondary pathology

Repair results in 40-70% improved semen parameters

Surgery versus Embolization in Radiology

Low Testosterone

Treat with Clomid

Stimulates GnRH release

Vasectomy

60-70% success at 5 years

Anejaculation

Vibrator

Electroejaculation

ICSI

Retrograde Ejaculation

Sudafed

Collection of retrograde sample

IVF and ICSI have covered the gaps in our treatment options
