Abstract:
Objective: Analyzing the frequency of infertility among
the males of different age groups in Lahore.
Design of Study: Descriptive case study.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried
out in the Urology department of Mayo hospital Lahore
in a period of 6 months form July 2018 to December
2018.
Materials and Methods: Individuals in different age
groups were selected randomly and then classified into
three age groups. Patients with age between 20-30 years
were classified as group-1, those with age between 20-30
years were kept in group-2 and patients having age
greater than 40 years were kept in group-3. Only those
patients were selected who were willing to take part in
this research. Informed consent was taken from each
individual. Patients were asked to provide the semen
sample which was then analyzed using light microscopy.
Each sample was carefully sent to a reliable lab for
semen analysis. The reports were then analyzed for
sperm motility, morphology, contamination with
microbes and presence of any kind of debris.
Results: Aberrant semen report was surprisingly found
in people of young age about 58% compare to people in
group 2 and 3 having anomalous reports of 52% and
60%. Abnormal motility and morphology was highest in
people above 40 years of age. According to the study a
higher risk of aberration is seen in young age group.
Vitiate foods, climate changes, improper nutrition and
change of life style are the main reasons behind this
increasing abnormality.
Conclusion: The increasing abnormal reports is an
alarming condition that is causing increased infertility in
young generation and a proper solution must be found
out to prevent the infertility in coming generations.
