ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Male infertility contributes 40 % of couple infertility. The prevalence of abnormal semen parameters has been on the increase. Age among other factors affects the fertility potential of males. This study analysed the pattern of seminal fluid parameters of males, seeking fertility treatment in hospitals and the relationship between age, volume and liquefaction time on these other semen parameters.

METHODS:

This is a multicentre retrospective cohort study conducted in eight secondary and tertiary hospitals in Nigeria. The case notes of couples that sort fertility care at the Gynaecology and Urology clinics of these hospitals from January 1st 2022 to December 31st 2022 were retrieved after receiving ethical approval. A purposeddesigned proforma based on the WHO manual for the examination of human semen was used for data collection. Outcome measures were time of semen collection and examination, volume of semen, sperm number, sperm concentration, PH, agglutination, liquefaction, motility,morphology, vitality, and white blood cell count. Data was analysed using SPSS version 23. Data were presented as means and proportions. P-value of < 0.05 was used as the level of significance.

RESULTS:

Overall, 1063 couples attended gynaecology and urology clinics with fertility-related concerns within the study period with a retrieval rate of 98.3%. The mean age of participants was 38.24 ± 8 years, while the mean semen volume and sperm concentrations were 2.62 ± 1.6 mls and 34.32 ± 7.4 million respectively. The age of participants significantly affected motility, volume and morphology (p-values of 0.001, 0.001 and 0.004 respectively). The total motility and sperm concentration have an inverse relationship with the age of the participants.

CONCLUSION:

This study shows that sperm motility decreases with the age of participants. It was also observed that the most common combined abnormality was oligoasthenozoospermia.
CONTEXTE L'infertilité masculine représente 40 % de l'infertilité des couples. La prévalence des paramètres anormaux du sperme est en augmentation. L'âge, entre autres facteurs, affecte le potentiel de fertilité des hommes. Cette étude a analysé le profil des paramètres du liquide séminal des hommes cherchant un traitement de fertilité dans les hôpitaux et la relation entre l'âge, le volume et le temps de liquéfaction sur ces autres paramètres du sperme. MÉTHODES Il s'agit d'une étude de cohorte rétrospective multicentrique menée dans huit hôpitaux secondaires et tertiaires au Nigeria. Les notes de cas des couples qui ont eu recours à des soins de fertilité dans les cliniques de gynécologie et d'urologie de ces hôpitaux entre le 1er janvier et le 31 décembre 2022 ont été récupérées après avoir reçu une approbation éthique. Un proforma conçu à dessein et basé sur le manuel de l'OMS pour l'examen du sperme humain a été utilisé pour la collecte des données. Les mesures des résultats étaient le temps de collecte et d'examen du sperme, le volume de sperme, le nombre de spermatozoïdes, la concentration en spermatozoïdes, le PH, l'agglutination, la liquéfaction, la motilité, la morphologie, la vitalité et la numération des globules blancs. Les données ont été analysées à l'aide de SPSS version 23. Les données ont été présentées sous forme de moyennes et de proportions. Une valeur P < 0,05 a été utilisée comme niveau de signification. RÉSULTATS Dans l'ensemble, 1 063 couples ont fréquenté les cliniques de gynécologie et d'urologie pour des problèmes de fertilité au cours de la période d'étude, avec un taux de récupération de 98,3 %. L'âge moyen des participants était de 38,24 ± 8 ans, tandis que le volume moyen de sperme et les concentrations de spermatozoïdes étaient respectivement de 2,62 ± 1,6 ml et 34,32 ±7,4 millions. L'âge des participants a affecté de manière significative la motilité, le volume et la morphologie (valeurs p de 0,001, 0,001 et 0,004 respectivement). La motilité totale et la concentration en spermatozoïdes ont une relation inverse avec l'âge des participants.

CONCLUSION:

Cette étude montre que la mobilité des spermatozoïdes diminue avec l'âge des participants. Il a également été observé que l'anomalie combinée la plus fréquente était l'oligoasthénozoospermie. Mots-clés Infertilité Masculine, Anomalies du Liquide séminal, Nigeria.
