Abstract

Introduction: About 15% of couples are infertile. This suggests they can’t think about a child, in spite of theway that they’ve had visit, unprotected sex for a year or more. In over 33% of these couples, male barrennessaccept a role. Male infertility is a direct result of low sperm creation, unusual sperm limit or blockages thatforestall the movement of sperm. Afflictions, wounds, interminable clinical issues, lifestyle choices andvarious parts can expect a job in causing male barrenness. Testosterone and Estrogen have been viewed asmale and female sex hormones, separately. However, estradiol, the dominating type of Estrogen, likewiseassumes a critical role in male sexual capacity. Estradiol in men is fundamental for modulating libido,erectile capacity, and spermatogenesis.Aim: Role of Eestrogen and Teststerone in Male Infertility.Material and Method: The present study includes total 60 subjects that include 30 infertile male and 30fertile male. Blood samples collected from the subjects were obtained for serum estrogen and testosteroneestimation, from OPD, general medicine and OBGY wards.Result: As we found the level of oestrogen in infertile male was 19±1.2 as compared to fertile male37.1±2.7pg/ml that is statistically highly significant. The degree of testosterone in infertile male was4.94±0.98 while in fertile male it was 5.01±1.31 and it is statistically non-significant.Conclusion: concentrations of serum estradiol in infertile patients are reduced significantly. It remains tobe explained why estradiol decreased. Based on our results, however, there is little benefit to be gainedfrom routine estradiol measurement as part of investigating men who complain about infertility. Lowtestosterone does not cause stomach discomfort. In fact, sperm production is stimulated by hormones otherthan testosterone.
