Every individual has the right to a safe and satisfactory sex and reproductive life. Therefore, several countries have made efforts to make Reproductive Health resources available to their populations. However, few results have been published regarding the policies implemented in Portugal. This study looked into the reproductive health status of the Portuguese male population.
Sperm donor candidates from the Portuguese Public Gamete Bank registered between 2011 and 2018 were included in the study. Spermogram findings were evaluated with respect to sociodemographic and risk factors.
This is the first study performed in this population. We found that sperm quality has decreased throughout the last nine years, and that spermatozoa progressive motility is inversely correlated with the body mass index. An association between drug use and decreased sperm pH was also found.
Changes in sperm quality have important consequences in male fertility. Most of the identified causes of decreased sperm quality are modifiable factors and should therefore be addressed since an early age.
每个人都有权享有安全和满意的性生活和生殖生活。因此，一些国家已经努力为其民众提供生殖健康资源。然而，关于葡萄牙实施的政策，发表的结果却很少。本研究调查了葡萄牙男性人口的生殖健康状况。
本研究纳入了 2011 年至 2018 年期间在葡萄牙公共配子库登记的精子捐献者候选人。根据社会人口统计学和风险因素评估精液分析结果。
这是在该人群中进行的第一项研究。我们发现，过去九年来精子质量下降，精子运动能力与体重指数呈负相关。还发现吸毒与精子 pH 值降低之间存在关联。
精子质量的变化对男性生育能力有重要影响。大多数已确定的精子质量下降的原因是可改变的因素，因此应尽早解决。
