Semen quality analysis of infertile males from different ethnic groups in Hainan
Objective To analyze of the semen quality of infertile males of minorities and Han ethnic groups in Hainan and provide a scientific basis for the diagnosis and treatment of infertile men in Hainan area.Methods Clinical data of 1 682 infertility male patients from January 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups including the ethnic minority group(367 cases)and the Han nationality group(1315 cases)according to nationality.The age,semen quality indicators(semen volume,semen liquefaction time,sperm concentration,total sperm motility,forward motion sperm rate,normal sperm morphology rate)and the incidence of abnormal sperm types were compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of age,semen volume,oligospermia occurrence,asthenospermia occurrence and azoospermia occurrence(P＞0.05);However,the abnormal rate of semen liquefaction time(10.40％)and the incidence of teratospermia(29.70％)in the ethnic minority group were higher than those in the Han nationality group(6.60％and 27.00％),and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05);Sperm concentration(66 × 106/mL),total sperm activity rate[(49.38±15.85)％],forward motility sperm rate[(44.54±15.67)％],and normal sperm morphology rate[(3.86±2.02)％]of the ethnic minority group were all remarkably lower than those of the Han nationality group[(73 × 106/mL,(55.16±12.67)％,(48.85± 12.73)％]respectively,and(4.90±2.54)％,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions There is a significant differences in semen quality between infertile males of ethnic minority and Han nationality in Hainan area.The overall semen quality level of the ethnic minorities patients is obviously lower than that of Han nationality.So,we should strengthen male reproductive health education in areas of minority to improve their fertility level.
