Meta-analysis reveals lower sperm concentration in classic versus limited testicular microlithiasis among infertile men, suggesting subtype-dependent impacts on fertility.
/mL. Subgroup analysis showed that CTM was associated with significantly lower sperm concentration than LTM (P = 0.042), whereas no significant differences were observed between CTM and LTM for sperm morphology or gonadotropin levels.. In conclusion, this meta-analysis provides a descriptive synthesis of clinical findings, semen characteristics, and endocrine profiles in infertile men with TM.
