Abstract
Background/Objective/Methods
Infertility is one of the major global public health issues. In a social setup like India, there is a strong emphasis on childbearing, which leads to economic and psychological stress and trauma. Various studies have shown that worldwide, there is a decline in the quality of semen. Many environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle factors are responsible for the reduced semen quality. The methods of this study are the source of data, the method of collection of data, and statistical analysis.
Results
Semen analysis is an important diagnostic test in the assessment of infertility in male partners. Ninety-eight semen samples were analyzed from the patients who presented with the complaint of infertility over a period of 2 years (June 2018-May 2020).
Conclusion
Based on our analysis, it can be inferred that an escalation in the intensity of tobacco consumption is directly associated with a proportional decline in sperm count and motility and a notable increase in liquefaction time.
