ABSTRACT
Background: Infertility is social stigma. Varying habits among males that is smoking and alcohol intake have found negative influence on sperm count and motility. Objecctives: To evaluate various factors for male infertility and correlate various factors which affect the semen quality. Materials and Methods: This is prospective observational study in which total 100 cases of infertility were evaluated during the period of May 2020 to June 2021 in ANIIMS, Port blair.

Result: 48% of the patients belongs to age group of 26-30yrs, who came for semen analysis. we have found that majority of patients belonged to the group of middle class and lower middle class. 75 out of 100 cases (75%) had semen volume more than 1.5ml. WHO regards 1.5 ml as the lowest reference limit. 84% patients had sperm density >20 milllion/ml. Actively motile sperm was seen in 20% of patients. Sluggishly motile sperm was seen in 25% of patients and non motile sperm seen in 55% patients. Frequency of motile sperm shows that 60% of patients had 50 % of patients had pus cells >10/HPF. Total 58 (58%) patients were having smoking habit, while 42 (42%) were nonsmokers. 21 out of 42 nonsmoker had good sperm motility i.e. >50% motile sperm.
