    Vasography is a safe diagnostic tool for male infertility, revealing abnormalities in 10% of azoospermic men. The procedure showed no adverse effects on the vas deferens or sperm count.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Male infertility affects numerous couples, necessitating accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Vasography (radiographic imaging of the vas deferens) is a procedure used to evaluate the male reproductive tract.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the diagnostic yield and safety of vasography in men with infertility and other genital tract disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of vasography results in 440 male partners of infertile couples and 42 men with genital tract disorders.
    • Evaluation of scrotal exploration findings alongside vasography results.

    Main Results:

    • Abnormalities were detected in 10% of 265 azoospermic men and 4% of 175 other infertile men.

  • No evidence of vas deferens damage or induced azoospermia was observed post-procedure.
  • A high incidence of radiological abnormalities was noted in cases of hematospermia (blood in semen).

    • Conclusions:

    • Vasography is a safe and effective diagnostic imaging technique for evaluating male infertility and genital tract abnormalities.
    • The procedure has a low complication rate and provides valuable information, particularly in cases of azoospermia and hematospermia.
