ABSTRACT

There are various anatomical syndromes of male infertility which include those due to absence of the vas deferens, one testis being non-palpable, spermatocele, absence of epididymis, failure of union of epididymis-testis and other related anomalies. These anomalies are associated with testicular feminization syndrome or male hermaphroditism (Figures 5.1 and 5.2). Testicular dysfunction is due to spermatogenesis anomalies, anatomical/ultrastructural parameters, genetic factors and testicular tumors.
