Semen analysis in an infertile man with seminal vesicles cysts associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis.
A case of an infertile man with bilateral seminal vesicles cysts with ipsilateral renal agenesis is presented with emphasis on the semen analysis. Ejaculates showed very low concentration of fructose, leukocytospermia, teratozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, hyperviscosity, marked sperm agglutination and a poor hypoosmotic swelling test. Clinical value of these findings is discussed.
