Result: In this study   14.8% males  had oligospermia ,  14.2% had Semen volume <1.5ml,51..8%  had total motility less than 40% ,(62.2%)  had progressive motility less than 32%.and23.3.% had abnormal  morphology <4% and 25.6% had vitality <58% .Semen volume was reduced in the age group more than 40 years (P value 0.000 ExpB 2.6) and with smoking  (ExpB1.99). Sperm count was significantly less in the age group > 40years and with smokers( P VALUE-0.000,.0.012). Smoking affects the total motility of sperms (ExpB 1.873). Progressive motility was affected by smoking and alcohol ( P value 0.000,0.000 ExpB 2.19,2.02). Vitality was affected by smoking, alcohol, and in underweight BMI (p-value 0.010,0.041, 0.001, ). Morphology was affected by smoking, alcohol, (p-value –0.000, 0.000, )
