Abstract/OtherAbstract:
One hundred and seventy-seven men who had testicular biopsies done for infertility investigations over a 5-year period (1983-1987) were studied. Twenty per cent had normal histological pictures. Varying degrees of hypospermatogenesis were seen in 49% while 19% had chronic non-specific orchitis. The remaining 12% had various other pathological changes.
