Comparative Study of Post-Varicocelectomy Myo-inositol vs. Antioxidants vs. Surgery Alone in Infertile Men (MYO-VAR)
Comparative Study Between Myo-inositol Add on Post Varicocelectomy Versus Add on Conventional Antioxidants or Varicocelectomy Alone in Infertile Patients
The purpose of this open-label, 3-arm randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of adding oral myo-inositol versus conventional oral antioxidants (vitamin C, L-carnitine, and zinc) versus surgery alone following microscopic subinguinal varicocelectomy in infertile adult males with clinical varicocele.
연구 개요
상태
상세 설명
Varicocele is present in approximately 40% of infertile males. While microscopic varicocelectomy remains the gold-standard surgical correction, post-operative oxidative stress and impaired spermatogenesis frequently require adjunctive metabolic or antioxidant support. Myo-inositol plays a critical role in Sertoli cell function, sperm maturation, mitochondrial energy production, and intracellular calcium mobilization essential for sperm hyperactivation. In this prospective study, 150 male patients with clinical Grade II-III varicocele undergoing microscopic subinguinal varicocelectomy at Fayoum University Hospitals will be randomly assigned (1:1:1) into three parallel groups: Group A: Receives oral myo-inositol supplementation for 3-6 months postoperatively. Group B: Receives conventional oral antioxidant combination therapy for 3-6 months post-operatively. Group C: Receives no adjuvant medical treatment post-operatively. All subjects undergo standardized preoperative evaluation (hormone profile, seminal fluid analysis, scrotal duplex) and postoperative follow-up to assess semen parameter improvement, clinical pregnancy rates, and treatment side effects.
