Abstract
Our work aims to study the impact of active smoking on some parameters indicative of
male fertility in humans. The experiment involved a cohort of 20 men against 20 men
smokers non-smokers (controls) who came to take spermogramme, some of them
were volunteers. The volume of semen, concentration, mobility, speed, vitality and
sperm abnormalities, and the level of testosterone were studied in two groups. The
results show that there is a non-significant decrease in the volume of semen at
smokers compared to non smokers (controls), a significant decrease (p <0.001) in the
concentration, mobility, speed, vitality sperm in the group of smokers compared with
controls. Smokers are also a significant increase in the level of sperm morphological
abnormalities and the level of testosterone was a significant decrease (p <0.01) in
subjects smoking compared with controls.
