Male accessory gland infection/inflammation (MAGI) is a major cause of male infertility, and the importance of ultrasound evaluation in confirming the diagnosis is highly debated. Ultrasound criteria help localize and assess the extent of the inflammatory process, with varying consequences on seminological and symptomatic aspects.
Male accessory gland infection/inflammation (MAGI) is a major cause of male infertility. The importance of ultrasound evaluation in these patients is highly controversial, although evidence of its relevance has increased in recent years. Ultrasound criteria are an important element for confirming the clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, they help to localize the anatomical site or sites of the inflammatory process and in assessing its extension which, in turn, have different consequences on the seminological and symptomatic aspects. This article summarizes the clinical interpretations related to ultrasound aspects in patients with MAGI and the possible effects on the seminological, microbiological, endocrinologic, urological, sexological, and internist aspects.
