Abstract

The aim of this study is to detection of melatonin hormone in infertile men (oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia and unexplained). This study included the examination of 200 samples after a period of abstinence of 3-5 days, where samples were collected from patients with oligozoospermia (50 samples), patients with asthenozoospermia (50 samples) and patients with unexplained infertility (50 samples) in comparison with control (50 samples) a control sample are between (21-45) years, in the laboratory of the Fertility Center/Al-Sadr Medical City/ Najaf Governorate from 20/1/2021 to 1/1/2022. The results of the current study showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the concentration of melatonin hormone for oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia and unexplained infertility compared to the control group. The results of the current study indicated a positive relationship between the melatonin hormone with the sperm concentration for patients with oligozoospermia asthenozoospermia and unexplained infertility patients.
