Risk Assessment of Male Infertility in People Aged 28 to 52, in the City of Parakou (Benin).
Keywords:
Male infertility, Environmental causes.Abstract
We evaluated male infertility in a moderately westernized population by macroscopic and microscopic examination. 29% of the population is free from difficulty conceiving; 34.90% has a relative difficulty to good mobility and 28.32% has a relative difficulty to the eligible number of sperm per ml. We found no correlation between the factors studied and the age of patients. Our work allows us to hypothesize the involvement of environmental causes among others knowing that in these environments the presence of heavy metals has been detected.
