Effect of Genital Tract Infection on Alpha Glucosidase Enzyme in Semen of Infertile Male Patients

Abstract

Background: Certain biological substances could be thought of as reliable predictors of male infertility. An epididymal pathology might be evaluated with the use of the glucosidase determination. Reduced levels of glucosidase in semen have been linked to impaired sperm maturation in the epididymis and may possibly be connected to epididymitis and genital tract inflammation.Objective: This study aimed to assess how genital tract infections affected the amount of alpha glucosidase in infertile men's semen. Patients and methods: Thirty-one infertile male patients with pyospermia were included in this prospective study.
