Biomonitoring of heavy metals in the blood and ejaculate of men with idiopathic infertility

The aim of this study was to examine the contents of heavy metals in the blood and semen of men with idiopathic infertility. We observed 80 men with idiopathic infertility in the age range 19-40 years (mean age - 29,2 ± 0,6 years). All patients underwent clinical and urological study: complete blood count, urinalysis, Wassermann analysis, blood sugar, biochemical blood tests, hormonal examination (testosterone, estradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin), karyotyping, ultrasound of the scrotum and prostate, microscopic and bacteriological study of ejaculate, screening for sexually transmitted infections.

19 patients with a concentration of sperm in the ejaculate < 5x106/ml surveyed blood and semen on the content of heavy metals studied semen analysis before and after treatment. Measurement of heavy metals was carried out by electrochemical methods contrails. All patients received comprehensive treatment, which included essentiale forte H 2 capsules x 3 times, vitamin E 100 mg 2 caps /day and oatmeal 30g x 3 times/day .

Established a high content of lead, cadmium and copper in the blood and semen, indicating that their accumulation in the genitals. Expediency of pectin prevention to prevent accumulation of xenobiotics. Also there was a direct relationship between the content of heavy metals in the ejaculate and its fertile properties. In the complex treatment of patients with idiopathic infertility significantly improved fertilizing properties of ejaculate.
