Relationship Between The Number of Sperm Quality and Testosterone Hormone Levels in Tiara Sella Hospital Bengkulu

摘要

Indonesia has 12% or about 3 million infertile couples. Only half of that amount can be helped according to desire. 30% of these infertile partners are male as a cause in infertile couples. And there is a tendency for a meaningful increase. Almost every couple in the world wants a child, but unfortunately not every marriage is awarded a descent. There are 10-15% of couples experiencing infertility, the condition begins when a woman is unable to not become pregnant or pregnancy until childbirth, even though she has had regular sexual intercourse without using contraceptives for a year or more, the condition is usually called fertility or in the medical language referred to as infertile. This study aims to determine the relationship between testosterone hormone levels and sperm counts in male infertile couples at Tiara Sella Bengkulu Hospital. This study was carried out at Tiara Sella Hospital by examining testosterone levels and sperm counts and then tested the correlation between the two. The results showed that there was no correlation between testosterone levels and sperm count (p>0.05). It is hoped that more careful research will be carried out, especially on the results of azoospermia sperm.
