Abstract:
At the Gyneco-obstetric service of the Yaounde CHU, we have studied 361 cases of couple sterility. In 38%, the man was responsible. Among these patients, less than 50% had a complete hormonal checkup. The hormonal cause of sterility was confirmed in 63 patients by static tests using the radio-immunologic method. These hormonal abnormalities were most the result of a primary testicular insufficiency (23.8%) and seminifer tube abnormalities (38.5%).
