Serum Testosterone Level among men with Abnormal Semen Fluid

Abstract

Background : Testosterone evaluation is useful in the management of male infertility. For initiation of spermatogenesis and maturation of spermatozoa. Since the testosterone is involved in regulation of germ cell development thus, it becomes necessary to, measure testosterone level for management of male infertility The spermatogenesis requires the presence of gonadotropins and testosterone . Objectives :To observe the pattern of testosterone hormonal abnormalities in infertile Sudanese males with abnormal semen analysis Methodology :This study designed as analytical cross-sectional study include 100 sudanese infertile men with abnormal semen analysis whom their ages range from (23-68) years live in Khartoum state sudan during the period of June to October 2016 . a total of 100 infertile men with abnormal semen analysis have the serum testosterone is measured using TOSOH Bioscience automated immunoassay analyzer AIA-360 Results :Among 100 infertile men 37% were Oligosthenozoospermia followed by 27%, 22%, 14% were Athesnozoospermia, Azoospermia, Oligozoospermia and respectively .. There was weak negative significant correlation between Teststrone hormone level and age and insignificant with duration of infertility . Conclusion : The study that concluded testosterone levels are lower in Oligosthenozoospermia ,azoospermic , oligozoospermi and asthenozoospermia males in comparison with normal range, age and duration of infertility are correlated with testosterone deficiency, thus could affect spermatogenesis, which may result in infertility
