Abstract:
Background: In recent years studies have been shown vitamin D plays an important
role in reproduction. The deficiency of vitamin D is connected with male infertility,
diminishing rate and changing hormonal profile. Aim: this study purposes to evaluate the
occurrence of vitamin D in azoospermic, oligospermic and normal fertile Egyptian and to
correlate the different levels of Vitamin D with semen parameters (spermatic count, motility
and abnormality) hormonal profile (FSH, LH, TT) and duration of infertility. Patients and
methods: 30 infertile males were included. Semen analysis was performed according to
WHO criteria. Different levels of vitamin D were detected using both Vidas and Elisa
techniques, as well as the levels of hormonal profile.Results: Among 30 infertile males;
18/30(60%) patients were azoo/oligozoospermia and 12/30 (40%)
fertile.Conclusion:Vitamin D levels in serum is correlated with male infertility. Almost
fertile males showed higher levels of vitamin D in oligozospermia and azoospermia. As well
as semen vitamin D levels is also linked with vitamin D in semen vs count and duration. A
wide population is needed to insure this observation.
