    Semen analysis in young medical students revealed higher liquefaction time, pH, and motility, with lower sperm count and abnormal forms. Significant dietary differences in non-vegetarians and vegetarians affected semen parameters.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive biology
    • Andrology
    • Nutritional science

    Background:

    • Semen quality is crucial for male reproductive health.
    • Dietary patterns can influence physiological parameters.
    • Adolescent and young adult male reproductive health requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess semen parameters in unmarried male medical students aged 17-21.
    • To compare findings with established reference values.
    • To investigate potential correlations between dietary habits (vegetarian vs. non-vegetarian) and semen quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Semen analysis was performed on 66 unmarried male medical students.
    • Parameters evaluated included liquefaction time, pH, sperm count, motility, and sperm morphology.

  • Participants were categorized based on dietary habits: vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

    • Main Results:

    • Students exhibited higher liquefaction time, pH, and motility compared to reference values.
    • Lower sperm count and a higher prevalence of abnormal sperm forms were observed.
    • Significant differences in liquefaction time, pH, and sperm count were noted between vegetarian and non-vegetarian groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Young male medical students may present with altered semen parameters compared to general populations.
    • Dietary protein intake, differing between vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets, may significantly impact semen quality.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific mechanisms linking diet and male reproductive health in this demographic.
