Seminal oxidative stress in the male reproductive tract is known to result in peroxidative damage of the sperm plasma membrane and loss of its DNA integrity. Normally, a balance exists between concentrations of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant scavenging systems. One of the rational strategies to counteract the oxidative stress is to increase the scavenging capacity of seminal plasma. Nu...

BACKGROUND Psychological stress has a profound effect on infertility and its treatment. The aim of this study was to develop a specific scale to determine distress levels among Iranian infertile women. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study the samples included 300 women (145 fertile and 155 infertile) who completed the Infertility Distress Scale (IDS) form. Data was analysed usi...

The imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and total antioxidant capacity in seminal fluid indicates oxidative stress and is correlated with male infertility. One of the rational strategies to counteract the oxidative stress is to increase the scavenging capacity of seminal plasma. In such cases a combination of antioxidants may e more useful treatment of male infertility. W...

Inability to conceive is a stressful situation among young couples. The idea of infertility still an uncovered ground in the field science. Younger generations who are forced achieve better quality life focused and much stressed about their work rather than health. Infertility rates rising every year world. Though this ticking bomb people seem care it little India shunned if they unable especia...

Background: Male infertility is responsible for approximately 50% of infertility in the world. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the causative agents of infertility in males which effects on sperm quality and function. In this study, the effects of oxidative stress induced by tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) were investigated on sperm quality, testis tissue and miRNAs expression. Mater...

About one in six couples are experiencing difficulties in conceiving a child. One in four couples may seek advice about infertility from their General Practitioner (GP) at some time in their life. The GP needs to make a decision about secondary care referral. The aim of the study is to understand the effective management of infertility in general practice. All GPs must do couple centered approa...

background : approximately 15 percent of all the couples are involuntarily childless in reproductive ages. the ability to reproduce and give birth to a child is an important part of the human beings life; thus, infertility can cause anxiety for the infertile people. therefore, this study aimed to investigate men’s experiences from male infertility. methods : this was a descriptive phenomenologi...

Oxidative stress contributes to defective spermatogenesis leading to male factor infertility. The aim of this study was to review the current literature on the effects of various antioxidants to improve fertilisation and pregnancy rates. The sources of literature were Pubmed and the Cochrane data base. Reviewing the current literature revealed that Carnitines and vitamin C and E have been clear...
