- W2897241381 abstract "To characterize the pathways to care that infertile couples requiring varicocele repair (VR) pursue prior to presenting to a male fertility clinic.An IRB-approved single center retrospective review of patients undergoing VR after presentation to an academic male fertility clinic was performed. Patients whose charts included partner histories were assessed for duration of attempting conception, prior workup, and assisted reproductive technology (ART) use.A total of 405 couples were included. At presentation, mean age was 34.4 (SD ± 6.5) years for men and 31.1 (SD ± 4.3) years for women (P < .0001). A couple's first visit to a physician was a gynecologist in 59% (198/334) of couples, a reproductive endocrinologist (REI) in 25% (83/334) of cases, with 14% (47/334) presenting without a previous female workup and were self-referred, and 2% (6/334) seeing both a gynecologist and REI prior to presentation. On average, couples attempted pregnancy for 22.3 (SD ± 21.1, range 0-120) months prior to presentation. Eighteen percent of couples underwent ART prior to presentation. Couples who had undergone ART had lower pre-VR total motile sperm counts compared to couples not pursuing ART prior to presentation (P = 0.031). The majority (70.4%) of females had no abnormality in their workup, making varicocele the only correctable factor for infertility in the couple.Our findings show a significant delay in referral of infertile men requiring VR. Eighteen percent of couples underwent costly ART prior to an inexpensive male workup. In an era of medical cost containment, early referral to a male infertility specialist is imperative." @default.
