.……….reports successful treatment of 50 patients with male infertility
Ilorin, Nov.12, ’26 (TNZ) A renowned surgeon, Prof. Abdus-Samiu Musa-Olomu, has put the contribution of male factors to infertility cases at approximately 40 per cent.
TheNewsZenith reports that Musa-Olomu also announced that surgical intervention restored fertility in several men who had experienced years of childlessness.
He announced this recently while delivering the 308th Inaugural Lecture of the University of Ilorin, Kwara State.
During the event, the former Chief Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, presented his clinical experience in treating men with infertility associated with varicocele.
He explained that varicocele, an abnormal enlargement of veins draining the testicles, could interfere with sperm production and quality.
According to him, this is possible by increasing testicular temperature and impairing oxygen supply.
The surgeon said that he successfully treated 50 out of 55 men presenting with infertility characterised by low sperm count, poor sperm motility and abnormal sperm morphology.

Presenting three cases, Musa-Olomu recounted how couples who had remained childless for about eight years achieved pregnancy following surgical correction of the condition.
“Other couples presented in the cases had waited nine, 12 and 14 years after marriage before eventually having children following the intervention.
“Laboratory investigations conducted six months after surgery showed improvements in sperm parameters, including sperm count, movement and morphology,” TheNewsZenith quotes the surgeon saying.
Musa-Olomu spoke on the importance of examining men during infertility investigations.
He warned against the cultural tendency of placing the burden of childlessness exclusively on women.
He urged couples experiencing difficulty conceiving to seek professional medical evaluation and appropriate treatment rather than relying on assumptions or unverified remedies. (TNZ)
