This article discusses the role of oxidative stress in male infertility, as well as the mechanisms and detection methods of male infertility caused by varicocele. The importance of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of varicocele is emphasized, and strategies for managing oxidative stress and clinical guidelines for testing oxidative stress-related sperm DNA fragmentation in this group of patients are proposed.
Oxidative stress is a condition due to an imbalance between the concentrations of oxidants and antioxidants, and it is a wellrecognized contributor in several male infertility conditions. Varicocele, a common vascular condition, may cause male infertility due to hyperthermia, hypoxia and/or exposure to toxic adrenal and renal metabolites. In this review, the mechanisms by which oxidative stress can affect cellular integrity and functions are described, along with molecular markers of cellular oxidative damage, and the most commonly performed techniques for their detection in seminal fluid. Moreover, we focus on the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of varicocele based on recently published evidence from omics based studies, such as proteomics and genomics. Finally, we discuss strategies for the management of oxidative stress and the clinical guidelines for testing oxidative stress-related sperm DNA fragmentation in this group of patients.
