title: Relationship between semen quality improvement after varicocelectomy and preoperative levels of hypophyseal and gonadal hormones.
abstract: Evaluation of serum levels of FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone and oestradiol is not predictive of the increases of sperm count after varicocelectomy. Increased level of oestradiol reflects the lack of possibility of sperm motility increase after varicocelectomy.
