Why increasing prevalence of male factor subfertikity
The
another etiology of male factor subfertility:: Whats wrong with male population??
Disruption of embryonic
programming and gonadal development during fetal life disruption of embryonal programming and gonadal
development during fetal life. : Another such programme is
Testicular dysgenesis syndrome: an increasingly common
developmental disorder with environmental aspects:
Recent reports have
focused on various aspects of adverse trends in male reproductive health, A) such
as the rising incidence of testicular cancer; B) low and probably declining
semen quality; C) high and possibly increasing frequencies of undescended
testis and hypospadias; and an apparently D) growing demand for assisted
reproduction. There is reason to believe that poor semen quality, testis
cancer, undescended testis and hypospadias are ever increasing symptoms in the
last four decades .One such example is rising
prevalence of testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS),
which has now become increasingly common
due to adverse environmental influences. Experimental and epidemiological
studies suggest that TDS is a result of disruption of embryonal programming and gonadal development
during fetal life. What hormonal changes may occur with TDS ?? A study of reproductive
hormone levels in 3‐months‐old infants found that cryptorchid boys had significantly elevated FSH and LH
serum levels associated with reduced inhibin B concentrations compared with
controls. Boys with hypospadias had similar changes
in hormone levels. A large study on reproductive hormones in adult
men found a shift towards lower serum testosterone levels, testosterone/LH
ratio and higher serum LH levels in infertile men compared with proven fertile
men from the same geographical area. These hormonal changes may be seen as a compensated Leydig cell
failure, although these findings may also be explained as a response
from Leydig cells to poor spermatogenesis.
Endocrine
disrupter hypothesis
Testicular dysgenesis syndrome is undoubtedly a multifactorial disease.
Established causes of severe forms of testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS), (TDS ) are 1) primarily genetic e.g.
45,X/46/XY karyotype, 2) androgen
insensitivity and 3) SRY mutation, often resulting in the most severe cases
with all TDS symptoms, including hypospadias, cryptorchidism and germ cell
tumour. However, the recent quite
significant increase in testicular cancer (400% in two generations cannot be explained by genetic factors alone.
