RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEMEN CHARACTERISTICS AND SOME FACTORS IN MEN AT THE CENTRAL OBSTETRIC HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cross-sectional prospective study on 200 patients, conducted from August 2022 to May 2023 at the National Obstetrics Hospital. The results showed that 87% of semen results were abnormal, of which morphological abnormalities accounted for the highest proportion (83%), 94.2% of men who drank alcohol and 98.3% of smoking cases had abnormal semen. There was a relationship between the proportion of patients drinking alcohol, smoking and abnormal semen analysis (p<0.05). There was no relationship between history of scrotal surgery and sperm volume, density and morphology in semen analysis (p>0.05), however there is a relationship between history of scrotoplasty and viability rate and sperm motility (p<0.05). Thus, among men examined at the National Obstetrics Hospital, abnormalities in sperm morphology accounted for the highest rate. The group of patients who drink alcohol had a 3.27 times higher risk of abnormal sperm than the group of patients who do not drink alcohol; the risk of abnormal sperm in the group that uses tobacco was 12.7 times higher than in the group that does not use tobacco regularly. In addition, a history of scrotoplasty reduced sperm viability and motility rate.
