Hemochromatosis (HC) is characterized by the progressive accumulation of iron in the body, resulting in organ damage. Endocrine complications are particularly common, especially when the condition manifests in childhood or adolescence, when HC can adversely affect linear growth or pubertal development, with significant repercussions on quality of life even into adulthood. Therefore, a timely and accurate...
Testing for AZoospermia Factor (AZF) deletions of the Y chromosome is a key component of the diagnostic workup of azoospermic and severely oligozoospermic men. This revision of the 2013 European Academy of Andrology (EAA) and EMQN CIC (previously known as the European Molecular Genetics Quality Network) laboratory guidelines summarizes recent clinically relevant advances and provides an update on...
Introduction
Testicular germ cell tumor is the most frequent neoplasia in men of reproductive age, with a 5‐year survival rate of 95%. Antineoplastic treatments induce sperm DNA fragmentation, especially within the first year post‐therapy. Data in the literature are heterogeneous concerning longer follow‐up periods, and the large majority is limited to 2 years.
Objective
To define the timing for...
Background
So far, male genital tract color‐Doppler ultrasound (MGT‐CDUS) was not standardized. Recently, the European Academy of Andrology (EAA) published the results of a multicenter study assessing the CDUS characteristics of healthy‐fertile men (HFM) to obtain normative parameters.
Objectives
To report the EAA US study (i) standard operating procedures (SOPs) for assessing MGT‐CDUS, (ii) main...
Background
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) parameters are not standardized, especially in men of reproductive age. Hence, the European Academy of Andrology (EAA) promoted a multicenter study to assess the TRUS characteristics of healthy‐fertile men (HFM) to establish normative parameters.
Objectives
To report and discuss the prostate and seminal vesicles (SV) reference ranges and characteristics...
Background
The hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic‐pituitary‐somatotropic (HPS) axes are strongly interconnected. Interactions between these axes are complex and poorly understood. These interactions are characterized by redundancies in reciprocal influences at each level of regulation and the combination of endocrine and paracrine effects that change during development.
Objectives...
Background
Testicular germ cell tumour is a multifactorial disease in which various genetic and environmental factors play a role. Testicular germ cell tumour is part of the testicular dysgenesis syndrome which includes also cryptorchidism, hypospadias, oligo/azoospermia and short anogenital distance.
Objectives
The primary objective was to examine anogenital distance in testicular germ cell tumour...
Background
Infertility affects 7%‐12% of men, and its etiology is unknown in half of cases. To fill this gap, use of the male genital tract color‐Doppler ultrasound (MGT‐CDUS) has progressively expanded. However, MGT‐CDUS still suffers from lack of standardization. Hence, the European Academy of Andrology (EAA) has promoted a multicenter study (“EAA ultrasound study”) to assess MGT‐CDUS characteristics...
