Our study aims to reveal the clinical outcomes of infertile male patients that were evaluated comparatively according to spermiogram results. Male infertility patients between the ages of 18–50 with regular health records were included in the study. Men under the age of 18, over the age of 50 and who did not seek children were excluded from the study. Demographic data, questionnaire scores, hormonal parameters and spermiogram results were examined and comparatively analyzed. 133 patients were included. Patietns with abnormal spermiogram results had higher mean FSH(mIU/mL) and LH(mIU/mL) values. Patients with normal spermiogram results had higher sperm concentration(mil/mL) and sperm motility(%a + b).(p < 0.05) Azoospermia patients had highest mean FSH(mIU/mL) and WBC(*10^3cells/uL) values and teratozoospermia patients had the lowest.(p < 0.05) Patients with normal results had lowest mean LH(mIU/mL) values while azoospermia patients had the highest.(p < 0.05) Asthenoteratozoospermia patients had highest mean LYM(*10^3cells/uL) values while patients with normal results had the lowest.(p < 0.05) Although statistically significant differences were not observed in terms of trace element analysis and many laboratory results, our study is important due to limited number of studies for especially trace element analysis in infertile male patients. infertility semen analysis trace element Introduction Infertility is inability to have a child despite one year of unprotected and regular sexual intercourse. Infertility can occur due to factors originating from men and women. Male Infertility has become a urological pathology that closely concerns societies with its increasing incidence and prevalence every year. Lifestyle, dietary habits, increased radiation exposure, increases in smoking and alcohol use and sedentary lifestyle are closely related factors with increasing rates of male infertility. Also, sperm production disorders, blockages in sperm ducts, presence of antibodies against sperm, testicular trauma, hormonal disorders, anatomical problems, varicocele, previous diseases, infections and some medications are additional etiological factors. Many studies have been conducted in the literature about the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. On the other hand, unexplained infertility still constitutes a large proportion among infertility subtypes. For this reason, multidisciplinary studies in the field of infertility and the results obtained from these studies are expected to guide diagnosis and treatment within the upcoming years. Infertility is a complex pathology that requires special multidisciplinary approach. Evaluating biochemical, microbiological and genetic analysis results of patients in comparison with the clinical data increases the value of the scientific studies and facilitates access to many additional data. History taking, physical examination, laboratory findings and imaging modalities have important place in the diagnosis of infertility. In addition to the hormonal analysis and biochemical tests, studies in the literature have also attempted to reveal their relationship with infertility by analyzing trace elements such as zinc and selenium in urine and semen fluid. Infertility has psychological aspects and many infertile men feel incomplete and unhappy for several reasons. Various surgical techniques for sperm retrieval, as well as medical treatments such as hormonal support and replacement therapies and antioxidant treatments, can be used in the treatment of infertility. The aim of our study is evaluating the laboratory results, trace element analysis and the demographic data of the patients in comparison with the semen analysis outcomes. The study was conducted in order to evaluate the relations that would lead new treatment modalities and replacement therapies. It was thought that by evaluating the spermiogram and trace element analysis results of infertile patients together, an opportunity can be created for different approaches that have similar features in the literature and can guide diagnosis and treatment in the future. Materials and Methods Infertile male patients between 18 and 50 years, with regular health records were included in the study. Men under the age of 18, over the age of 50, and who did not seek children were excluded. The history of the infertile patients that admitted between May 2021 and October 2021 were obtained. Age, body mass index(BMI-kg/m2), infertility duration(months), comorbidities, habits(smoking and alcohol) were noted. History of previous urogenital surgery, medical treatment(antioxidant treatment, hormone replacement therapy) and sperm extraction/aspiration technique(if performed) were recorded. Physical examination of the urogenital system was performed and pathological findings were recorded. International Index of Erectile Functions(IIEF-15) and the Sexual Health Inventory for Men(SHIM) outcomes were analyzed to evaluate erectile functions. Within the scope of the laboratory analysis, hormonal parameters(FSH, LH, Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Estradiol, Prolactin), LDL HDL and total cholesterol, triglyceride levels, urinalysis, fasting blood glucose, thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), urea and creatinine levels, complete blood count(CBC) parameters(WBC, RBC, Hgb, NEU, LYM, EOS, PLT) were examined. In addition sperm concentration(mil/mL), sperm motility(%a + b group motile sperm), and sperm morphology(% normal form) were analysed with semen analysis. Trace element analyses were conducted in the semen fluids and spot urine samples. Creatinine, copper, zinc and boron levels in the urine samples, zinc and boron levels in the semen fluids were evaluated and comparative analyzes were performed. The semen fluid and urine sample were consisted of the residual parts of the samples obtained for routine analysis. No additional samples were taken. Outcomes of the patients were examined comparatively according to normal and abnormal spermiogram results. In addition, spermiogram results were divided into subgroups as normal, oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, teratozoospermia, oligoasthenozoospermia, oligoteratozoospermia, asthenoteratozoospermia, oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and azoospermia. All outcomes were examined comparatively between these groups. Statistical Analysis Data analysis was performed with SPSS 21.0 and was studied at 95% confidence level. Normality was ensured for variables with skewness and kurtosis values between + 3 and − 3 and parametric tests were used, while non-parametric test techniques were used for variables outside this range. Examining the variables that provided normality according to the Spermiogram results(Normal and Abnormal Result) were analyzed with the independent groups t test, while the Mann Whitney test was used for the variables that did not provide normality. The variables that provided normality were examined in terms of detailed analysis of the spermiogram results(Normal, Oligozoospermia, Asthenozoospermia, Teratozoospermia, Oligoastenozoospermia, Oligoteratozoospermia, Astenoteratozoospermia, Oligoastenoteratozoospermia and Azoospermia) were analyzed by ANOVA test and the Kruskal Wallis test was used for the variables that did not provide normality. The relation between categorical variables was analyzed with the Chi-square test. The effect of variables giving significant results for spermiogram results were analyzed by logistic regression test. The statistical significance of the analysis results were evaluated with P value and values less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Results 133 patients were examined in detail. Ages of patients were 23–45 years(32.98 ± 4.69) and body mass indexes(BMI-kg/m2) were 18-41.6kg/m2(27.03 ± 3.94), infertility periods were 12–180 months(36.22 ± 34.73). The rate of comorbidities was 18%. 52% of the patients were smoker and 24% of them were consuming alcohol. 22.6% of the patients had history of previous urogenital surgery. Previous medical treatment history(antioxidant therapy, hormone replacement therapy) was observed in 13.5% of the patients. 3% of patients had history of sperm extraction/aspiration. Pathological physical examination findings were observed in 4.5%. International Index for Erectile Functions(IIEF 15) and the Sexual Health Inventory for Men(SHIM) were used for evaluating erectile functions. IIEF-15 scores range between 10–75(62.99 ± 9.25).

However it has become a common condition, most of the patients do not admit for receiving professional support or they delay. In our study, the average infertility duration was between 3–4 years and this outcome revealed delays. Considering the fertility potential and age of the patients, it is important to keep this period shorter. Delayed applications may also reduce the positive results of assisted reproductive techniques. IIEF-15 and SHIM are widely used for evaluating erectile functions. In our study, average IIEF-15 score was 62.99 ± 9.25 and ED was not significantly accompanied. Average EF score was 26.15 ± 4.64 and erectile functions were generally normal. In addition, mean OF score was 9.01 ± 1.77, mean SD score was 7.64 ± 1.49, mean SS score was 11.33 ± 2.46 and GS score was 8.81 ± 1.37. The mean SHIM score was 20.51 ± 4.1 and this pointed mild ED. Some laboratory results pointed statistically significant difference between the groups. Azoospermia patients had highest mean FSH(mIU/mL) and WBC(*10^3cells/uL) values and teratozoospermia patients had the lowest.(p < 0.05) Patients with normal results had lowest mean LH(mIU/mL) values while azoospermia patients had the highest.(p < 0.05) Asthenoteratozoospermia patients had highest mean LYM(*10^3cells/uL) values while patients with normal results had the lowest.(p < 0.05) While evaluating these results, predicitons and detailed laboratory examinations would be reconsidered as well as treatment strategies especially for abnormal hormonal values. Decrease in sperm quality, lower semen volume, and a decrease in sperm concentration, motility and morphology are observed in obese patients compared to normal individuals.( 1 ) In our study, considering the average body mass index(BMI-kg/m2) of the patients, it was observed that they were above the ideal weight. The negative impact of this outcome on fertility potential has been observed. In addition to its negative effects on general health, smoking has also negative effects on sperm capacitation, DNA integrity, sperm motility, morphology, number, vitality and semen volume.( 1 ) When the habits of the patients in our study were examined, it was observed that the rates of smoking and alcohol consuming were quite high. Considering previous publications in the literature, our results support the conclusion that smoking and alcohol negatively affect fertility potential. The effects of comorbidities and previous surgeries on fertility potential have also been supported by the results of our study. It was observed that one in every five patients had comorbidities that would negatively affect fertility potential. It has been also observed that urogenital surgeries for various reasons would also negatively affect their fertility potential. Recently, a decrease in the rates of varicocele and cryptorchidism at first admission, an increase in hypogonadism cases and idiopathic cases have been observed in male infertility admissions.( 2 ) Varicocele is a very common condition that have negative effects on testicular functions and would lead to subfertility, scrotal discomfort and hypogonadism.( 3 ) Microscopic varicocelectomy is a surgical treatment option with highest success and lowest complication rates.( 3 ) In our study, 22.6% of the patients had a history of previous urogenital surgery and this high rates also pointed the role of surgical history. Urogenital system physical examination of the patients was performed, pathological findings were detected in 4.5% of the patients. These pathological findings had an important role in the etiology of infertility. Medical treatment history was observed in 13.5% of the patients. Medical treatments increase fertility potential when given in the right indications and to appropriate patients. This can also affect the successful outcome rates of assisted reproductive techniques. Additionally, the higher rate of sperm extraction/aspiration history in azoospermic patients is consistent with the literature. Seminal fluid biochemical content is provided by a wide variety of accessory glands.( 4 ) Zinc is one of the most important components added to the seminal fluid by the prostate gland and important for normal testicular development.( 4 ) Zinc is very important and necessary for growth, sexual maturation and reproduction.( 5 ) It plays an important role for human health, and male reproductive system as it is necessary for spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis.( 6 ) The highest concentration of zinc is found in the first fraction of ejaculate, spermatozoa have a higher zinc concentration than all other body tissues and studies have shown that carbonic anhydrase is found in seminal plasma.( 7 ) In studies, significant positive correlation was observed between seminal zinc values, sperm consentration and motility and also between serum zinc values and sperm motility.( 8 ) The relation of concentration, motility, viability, pH and viscosity with seminal plasma zinc levels has been observed. ( 9 ) It has been shown that decreased sperm values is associated with pathozoospermia.( 6 ) It is stated that sperm motility has a significant relation with zinc level.( 4 ) In addition, zinc protects sperm from bacteria and chromosomal damage.( 4 ) Significant negative correlation was observed between serum zinc level and rates of abnormal forms.( 8 ) Zinc is important for union of head and tail of spermatozoa.( 10 ) Zinc supplementation increases daily sperm production and reduces abnormal spermatozoa rates.( 10 ) It has a very important role in continuity of germ cells, spermatogenesis progression, testicular development for sperm maturation and regulation of sperm motility.( 11 ) It also reduces reactive oxygen species and has antioxidant properties.( 10 ) Zinc measurements in human seminal fluid are very important for evaluation of male infertility.( 4 ) Studies reveal important role of seminal plasma zinc levels in improving male fertility potential and show that appropriate seminal plasma concentration is necessary for normal sperm functions.( 4 ) However, it has also been stated that serum free testosterone levels show significant positive correlation with seminal plasma zinc levels.( 4 ) In another study, it was reported that folic acid and zinc supplements to men in couples expecting fertility did not contribute significantly to semen quality and live birth rates compared to placebo.( 12 ) In our study, mean urine zinc level was 1285.58 ± 833.63ug/dl and mean semen zinc level was 21.52 ± 12.05ug/dL. Values did not show statistically significant difference between the patients that had normal and abnormal spermiyogram results. Calcium is detected at the highest concentration in seminal plasma analyses, followed by magnesium and zinc.( 13 ) Although the seminal plasma concentration of calcium, magnesium and zinc is higher than the blood plasma concentration, the blood plasma concentration of copper is higher than the seminal plasma concentration.( 13 ) The presence of chronic prostatitis causes decrease in the prostatic fluid zinc levels, also frequent ejaculation may also decrease seminal vesicle zinc levels.( 14 ) This situation may lead to lower antioxidant capacity and the adverse effect of heavy metals and also semen quality would be affected. In another study, no correlation was found between zinc, selenium and rubidium levels in seminal plasma and sperm motility, vitality and morphology. ( 15 ) Boron is an element taken with natural products such as water, vegetables and fruits.( 16 ) Studies have shown effects on bone metabolism, coagulation system, physiological effects of steroid hormones and pro-inflammatory cytokines.( 16 ) Boron is a very important trace element in terms of membrane integrity. Daily boron intake of people in various countries has been determined as 0.89–2.12 mg/day.( 17 ) In a study conducted in Turkey, daily boron exposure levels were measured in people living in a certain geography; blood boron and daily boron exposure levels, blood and urine boron levels, blood and semen boron levels were found to be statistically significant.( 18 ) In studies, a positive correlation was observed between boron exposure and sperm motility, and a negative correlation was observed with the rate of immotile sperm. This reveals the positive effects of boron on the semen profile.( 19 ) In our study, mean urine boron value was 1.2 ± 0.56mg/L and mean semen boron value was 237.51 ± 127.17ug/L. The values did not show statistically significant difference between the patients with normal and abnormal spermiyogram results. In our study, mean semen zinc level was determined as 21.52 ± 12.05ug/dL and mean semen boron level was determined as 237.51 ± 127.17ug/L. In a study, Seminal Plasma Zinc level was found to be 692.9 ± 24.0ug/mL in normospermic patients, 617.2 ± 43.7ug/mL in oligospermic patients and 661.9 ± 31.2ug/mL in azoospermic patients.( 20 ) The number of studies directly related to boron analysis in seminal plasma in infertile patients is quite limited in the literature, but within the scope of our study, the data and results obtained by boron and zinc analysis are very important. Also the trace element analysis we performed on the urine samples of infertile male patients; Urine Creatinine level average 133.7 ± 62.8mg/dL, urine Copper level average 29.44 ± 13.57ug/dL, urine Zinc level average 1285.58 ± 833.63ug/dL and Urine Boron level was determined to be 1.2 ± 0.56mg/L on average and the results are compatible with the literatüre. In a study, Sexual Health Inventory for Men(SHIM) and Erection Hardness Score(EHC) parameters were found to be lower in the group with low semen parameters.( 21 ) FSH levels were found to be significantly higher in the group with low semen parameters.( 21 ) Serum FSH level is known to have an inverse correlation with the disorder in spermatogenesis, and studies show that high FSH levels are a highly likely predictor of spermatozoa deficiency in semen.( 21 ) Also it has been confirmed in our study. Serum zinc concentration was also found to be lower in the group with low parameters.( 21 ) Mean sperm concentration and motility values of those with normal spermiogram results was the highest, mean value of those with Azoospermia was lowest. Mean semen volume of those with normal spermiogram results was highest, mean value of those with oligoastenozoospermia was lowest. These results are compatible with the literature. In some infertile patients, some of the semen parameters were observed in normal ranges. Etiological factors are variable in the literature, male factor, female factor and unexplained infertility can be detected among infertile couples. Multidisciplinary approach directly affects appropriate examination selections, comprehensive evaluation of patients and success of assisted reproductive techniques. Although no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups according to spermiogram results in terms of trace element analysis and many laboratory results, our study reveals important outcomes as there are limited comprehensive studies in the literature on trace element analysis in urine and semen samples. Comprehensive studies involving large populations are required in this field that can lead future diagnostic and treatment options.

Infertility can occur due to factors originating from men and women. Male Infertility has become a urological pathology that closely concerns societies with its increasing incidence and prevalence every year. Lifestyle, dietary habits, increased radiation exposure, increases in smoking and alcohol use and sedentary lifestyle are closely related factors with increasing rates of male infertility. Also, sperm production disorders, blockages in sperm ducts, presence of antibodies against sperm, testicular trauma, hormonal disorders, anatomical problems, varicocele, previous diseases, infections and some medications are additional etiological factors.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany studies have been conducted in the literature about the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility. On the other hand, unexplained infertility still constitutes a large proportion among infertility subtypes. For this reason, multidisciplinary studies in the field of infertility and the results obtained from these studies are expected to guide diagnosis and treatment within the upcoming years. Infertility is a complex pathology that requires special multidisciplinary approach. Evaluating biochemical, microbiological and genetic analysis results of patients in comparison with the clinical data increases the value of the scientific studies and facilitates access to many additional data. History taking, physical examination, laboratory findings and imaging modalities have important place in the diagnosis of infertility. In addition to the hormonal analysis and biochemical tests, studies in the literature have also attempted to reveal their relationship with infertility by analyzing trace elements such as zinc and selenium in urine and semen fluid. Infertility has psychological aspects and many infertile men feel incomplete and unhappy for several reasons. Various surgical techniques for sperm retrieval, as well as medical treatments such as hormonal support and replacement therapies and antioxidant treatments, can be used in the treatment of infertility.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aim of our study is evaluating the laboratory results, trace element analysis and the demographic data of the patients in comparison with the semen analysis outcomes. The study was conducted in order to evaluate the relations that would lead new treatment modalities and replacement therapies. It was thought that by evaluating the spermiogram and trace element analysis results of infertile patients together, an opportunity can be created for different approaches that have similar features in the literature and can guide diagnosis and treatment in the future.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Materials and Methods","content":"\u003cp\u003eInfertile male patients between 18 and 50 years, with regular health records were included in the study.

Age, body mass index(BMI-kg/m2), infertility duration(months), comorbidities, habits(smoking and alcohol) were noted. History of previous urogenital surgery, medical treatment(antioxidant treatment, hormone replacement therapy) and sperm extraction/aspiration technique(if performed) were recorded. Physical examination of the urogenital system was performed and pathological findings were recorded. International Index of Erectile Functions(IIEF-15) and the Sexual Health Inventory for Men(SHIM) outcomes were analyzed to evaluate erectile functions. Within the scope of the laboratory analysis, hormonal parameters(FSH, LH, Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Estradiol, Prolactin), LDL HDL and total cholesterol, triglyceride levels, urinalysis, fasting blood glucose, thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), urea and creatinine levels, complete blood count(CBC) parameters(WBC, RBC, Hgb, NEU, LYM, EOS, PLT) were examined. In addition sperm concentration(mil/mL), sperm motility(%a\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;b group motile sperm), and sperm morphology(% normal form) were analysed with semen analysis. Trace element analyses were conducted in the semen fluids and spot urine samples. Creatinine, copper, zinc and boron levels in the urine samples, zinc and boron levels in the semen fluids were evaluated and comparative analyzes were performed. The semen fluid and urine sample were consisted of the residual parts of the samples obtained for routine analysis. No additional samples were taken.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOutcomes of the patients were examined comparatively according to normal and abnormal spermiogram results.

Normality was ensured for variables with skewness and kurtosis values between +\u0026thinsp;3 and \u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;3 and parametric tests were used, while non-parametric test techniques were used for variables outside this range. Examining the variables that provided normality according to the Spermiogram results(Normal and Abnormal Result) were analyzed with the independent groups t test, while the Mann Whitney test was used for the variables that did not provide normality. The variables that provided normality were examined in terms of detailed analysis of the spermiogram results(Normal, Oligozoospermia, Asthenozoospermia, Teratozoospermia, Oligoastenozoospermia, Oligoteratozoospermia, Astenoteratozoospermia, Oligoastenoteratozoospermia and Azoospermia) were analyzed by ANOVA test and the Kruskal Wallis test was used for the variables that did not provide normality. The relation between categorical variables was analyzed with the Chi-square test. The effect of variables giving significant results for spermiogram results were analyzed by logistic regression test. The statistical significance of the analysis results were evaluated with P value and values less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Results","content":"\u003cp\u003e133 patients were examined in detail.

Our study aims to reveal the clinical outcomes of infertile male patients that were evaluated comparatively according to spermiogram results. Male infertility patients between the ages of 18\u0026ndash;50 with regular health records were included in the study. Men under the age of 18, over the age of 50 and who did not seek children were excluded from the study. Demographic data, questionnaire scores, hormonal parameters and spermiogram results were examined and comparatively analyzed. 133 patients were included. Patietns with abnormal spermiogram results had higher mean FSH(mIU/mL) and LH(mIU/mL) values. Patients with normal spermiogram results had higher sperm concentration(mil/mL) and sperm motility(%a\u0026thinsp;+\u0026thinsp;b).(p\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.05) Azoospermia patients had highest mean FSH(mIU/mL) and WBC(*10^3cells/uL) values and teratozoospermia patients had the lowest.(p\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.05) Patients with normal results had lowest mean LH(mIU/mL) values while azoospermia patients had the highest.(p\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.05) Asthenoteratozoospermia patients had highest mean LYM(*10^3cells/uL) values while patients with normal results had the lowest.(p\u0026thinsp;\u0026lt;\u0026thinsp;0.05) Although statistically significant differences were not observed in terms of trace element analysis and many laboratory results, our study is important due to limited number of studies for especially trace element analysis in infertile male patients.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Assessing biochemical and clinical analysis results of infertile male patients in comparison with spermiogram results","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-03-13 06:37:08","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4015615/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"f59b9a6a-c1c5-4cbe-80d5-c59a24841e39","owner":[],"postedDate":"March 13th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-04-25T13:25:10+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-03-13 06:37:08","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4015615","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4015615","identity":"rs-4015615","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
