The effect of bacteria causing urinary tract infections on male fertility in the city of Kut

Abstract

Background: We can use direct microscopic examination techniques of semen and urine, as well as semen and urine culture, for men aged 17 to 50 who are infertile and who suffer from bacterial infections in the reproductive system to detect the presence of inflammatory or bacterial cells in urine or semen samples in order to assess the extent of the impact of these infections on male fertility. Objectives: To determine the impact of bacteria infections in the men genitourinary system on the likelihood of men infertility in the city of Kut, by examining its effect on sperm in semen. Materials and Methods: Microorganisms that cause inflammation of the male reproductive tract and may affect male fertility were detected and identified in sample abtained from (semen and urine). These include E. coli, proteus, coagulase -ve, staphylococci, Staph aureus, Klebsiella spacies, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Pseudo- aeruginosa, and Enter- faecalis. Results: A strong correlation (correlation coefficient = 0.1) was detected between the isolates in urine and seminal fluid samples. It has been shown that this relationship may lead to the possibility of infection being transmitted from the urinary tract to the reproductive system and therefore to the semen. Gent, Ciprofl, Rif, Ceft (Amox and Clavulanic acid), and Aug – these antibiotics has proven affective in traeting moderate to sever infections. The spectrum broad of activity of these potent antibiotics confirms their effectiveness and ability to combat diseases resulting from bacterial infections. Among the patients evaluated, 80 patients suffered from oligospermia, representing 62%, and 37 individuals had azoospermia, representing 28% of the total cases; Representing 10% of the samples, 13 patients showed that their sperm count was within the normal range. Conclusion: The resultse of this stady demonstrated that one of the causes of male infertility is infection of the male reproductive tract with bacteria. Therefore, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of considering multiple factors when evaluating male infertility.
