Changes in the selected sperm parameters after 2010 in Lublin region
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Epidemiological data show that human reproductive disorders are a common problem worldwide because they concern one-sixth of all couples. Therefore, infertility has been considered by the World Health Organization as a social disease. The obtaining of pregnancy and the state of health of the baby depends on the quality of the genetic material of both the woman and man. Health behaviours and environmental factors directly affect the quality of sperm, as well as the human egg cell, and consequently on the reproductive capabilities, the course of pregnancy and the state of the newborn. Experiments conducted on animals indicate that hazardous environmental factors may contribute, among other things to the development of cancer in future generations, male infertility, and premature exhaustion of the ovarian reserve.
