Prevalencia de alteraciones reportadas en el espermiograma de pacientes masculinos de 20 a 60 años en el Hospital de Especialidades Teodoro Maldonado Carbo en el período 2016-2020.

Abstract

Introduction: Infertility of male origin is almost always generated by a sperm alteration and is diagnosed by doing a spermiogram, therefore, sperm morphology is one of the main variables involved in the fertilizing capacity of human spermatozoa and is considered as a predictor of male fertility. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective and observational study in which information was collected from 2016 to 2020 by reviewing medical records in the AS 400 system of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital (HTMC), from 203 male patients, with a spermiogram reported. Results: 70% of the population presented an alteration in the spermiogram, while the remaining 30% did not, for which their diagnosis of infertility is related to some other cause other than seminal alteration, in the analysis of the spermiogram leukospermia was the most frequent alteration with 65 cases (26.6%). Through the descriptive Chi square test, we sought to correlate both variables with respect to the database obtained, in this way a 2X2 cross table was made in which an asymptotic significance of 0.016 was obtained, this being less than 0.05 (p value). Conclusion: The spermiogram, in addition to being a diagnostic test, allows health personnel to establish a significant relationship between the alteration of seminal parameters and male infertility.
