Effect of type and severity of semen viscosity on sperm parameter, antisperm antibody, some cytokine and zinc levels for infertility men
Keywords:
semen viscosity, sperm parameter, antisperm antibody, cytokine, infertility menAbstract
viscosity of semen is one of the important factors in the occurrence of fertilization. Increasing the viscosity leads to infertility because it affects the function of the sperm, it linked to a decrease in the movement of sperm, and thus prevents the passage of sperm through the female reproductive system naturally. The aim of this study was to assess the effect type (normal or abnormal) and severity of semen viscosity (mild, moderate, sever) on semen quality, antisperm antibody, some cytokines and zinc levels for infertile men. The study included of eighty-eight (88) semen samples from individuals that are in abstinence for 2-7 days where the study included 34 men had normal semen viscosity and 54 men had abnormal semen viscosity from Fertility Centre in Al-Sadder teaching hospital in Al-Najaf / Iraq during the period of (2/11/ 2021) and (5/2/2022). The results of current study showed a nonsignificant decrease at (p<0.05) in sperm parameters. while showed a nonsignificant increase at (p<0.05) in leucocytes in group abnormal semen viscosity as compared with group normal semen viscosity also in sever semen viscosity compared to moderate semen viscosity.
