According to a number of researchers [1,2,3], chronic prostatitis (CP) causes infertility in 28-37% of cases. Disorders of spermatogenesis in patients with CP can be the cause of male infertility and abnormalities in newborns [3, 4]. To predict the fertilizing ability of spermatozoa, an analysis of their morphological characteristics is carried out using the strict criteria of the norm proposed by T. Kruger et al. [5]. However, the morphological and biochemical characteristics of ejaculate in patients with CP have been insufficiently studied.
Purpose of the study. To study the morphological and biochemical parameters of ejaculate in patients with CP.
Materials and methods. 90 patients with CP were examined at the age from 22 to 45 years (on average 33.8 1.4 years) with CP duration from 1 to 11 years (on average 4.7 1.2 years), with duration of infertility from 2 to 5 years (average 3.8 0.7 years).
Results and discussion. It was found that none of the patients was exposed to hyperthermia, industrial poisons, ionizing radiation, did not take narcotic and hormonal drugs, did not abuse nicotine and alcohol.
