Varicocele Treatment Does Not Improve Male Fertility
Authors of a systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how a common treatment for impaired male fertility may well be ineffective.

A study by Karen Throsby, of the London School of Economics, suggests that this idealised representation of IVF makes it particularly difficult for women to cope with failure which is in fact the majority outcome. The study was presented... view more... (2000-12-05)
