    Urinary tuberculosis significantly impacts sperm health, causing alterations in sperm. Treatment for urinary tuberculosis did not improve sperm parameters in affected young men.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Andrology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Urinary tuberculosis (UTB) can affect male reproductive health.
    • Sperm quality is crucial for male fertility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of UTB on sperm parameters.
    • To assess the relationship between UTB, genital alterations, and sperm quality.
    • To evaluate the impact of UTB treatment on sperm parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 50 male patients under 40 diagnosed with UTB.
    • Performed spermiogram analysis for cytomorphological and biochemical evaluation.
    • Grouped patients based on the presence or absence of clinical genital alterations.
    • Monitored spermiogram changes relative to UTB lesion progression and treatment.

    Main Results:

    • All patients with clinical genital alterations exhibited abnormal sperm cytomorphology and/or biochemistry.
    • Oligoasthenozoospermia was observed in 75% of patients without apparent genital lesions.
    • No significant improvement in spermiogram parameters was noted despite established treatment for UTB.

    Conclusions:

    • UTB is associated with significant sperm alterations, even without overt genital symptoms.
    • Current treatment protocols for UTB may not restore sperm quality.
    • Further research is needed to understand and manage UTB's impact on male fertility.
