P-7: Comparison between Occupational Exposures of Infertile Men with Idiopathic Azoospermia and Healthy Controls

Background: Although idiopathic azoospermia is a common reason for male infertility, the known etiological factors for this disease are remarkably very little. Recent evidences suggest that some occupational physical and chemical hazards could have negative effects on reproductive function and semen quality parameters of exposed workers. This study conducted to compare demographic characteristi...
