Abstract

Environmental factors, changes in lifestyle and occupational exposures are responsible for declining human semen quality. We investigated the effects of history of surgery and lifestyle choices on infertility of 271 infertile men and 251 healthy volunteers. The frequency of varicocelectomy was significantly higher in infertile men (2.9%) than in controls (0.4%; P < 0.05). Alcohol use was significantly more common in infertile men (92%) than in controls (80%; P < 0.01). Satisfaction with sexual life was greater in controls (85%) than in infertile men (77%; P < 0.05). Other factors had no effect.
