APHRInfertilidad por factor masculino en la India utilizando los criterios de Afrodita

This study focuses on male infertility across India, using a novel patient classification system called the Aphrodite Criteria. The aim is to understand the current state of male fertility in the country and identify any regional differences. These variations could be due to environmental, lifestyle, or genetic factors. The study is particularly interested in hypogonadal males, those with lower than normal testosterone levels, who have unexplained infertility. The research could provide valuable insights into male reproductive health and potentially improve care for those struggling with infertility. The study involves observing a diverse group of male patients visiting clinics in various IVF centers across India. The total sample size is 1,090 subjects, divided into five groups. The main goal is to determine the overall prevalence of male infertility according to the Aphrodite Criteria. This study also explores the impact of lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, and occupational exposures on sperm quality and testicular function. By understanding these factors, the study hopes to provide a more detailed classification of male infertility compared to traditional methods.
