Abstract

The semen levels of FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone were estimated in normal fertile males and in patients with oligozoospermia and varicocele. The only significant difference between the mean values of the two groups was noted for semen LH. Patients with oligozoospermia and varicocele had lower level than the normal fertile males. As a function of prostatic infection, no significant difference was obtained.
