Introduction: Despite the importance of thyroid hormones in reproduction, there are only a few studies that focus on male infertility. The objective of this study was to evaluate semen parameters in patients with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
Materials and methods: Totally, 28 patients with thyroid disorders were evaluated for the semen parameters. Serum TSH and T4 concentrations were measured by ELISA. Complete semen analyses were performed based on WHO.
Results: Pathozoospermia was seen in 32.14% of our patients. Two hyperthyroid patients and seven hypothyroid patients suffered sperm defects. None of pathozoospermia patients showed an alone sperm defects. Sperm multiple anomalies were our main findings.
Conclusion: It seems that sperm characterizes strongly were affected. Although, we have a limited sample size, but sperm multiple abnormalities made our interest findings.
