Effects of smoking cigarette on intrauterine insemination outcomes
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cigarette smoking on intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcome in men with normal sperm concentrations. Semen samples were obtained from smoker (n=120) and non-smoker (n=125) IUI couples in our center. Semen analysis were performed manually according to WHO guidelines and Kruger's strict criteria. We found that the quality of sperm parameters in the smoker men was not significantly different than that of the nonsmoker men (p>0.05) except for ratios of chromatin condensation and progressive motility (p<0.05). Pregnancy rate of the smoker group was significantly lower than that of the nonsmoker group (p<0.001). In conclusion, smoking cigarette has a negative effect on chance of conceiving after IUI in couples with smoking male partners.

ÖzetBu çalışmada sperm konsantrasyonları normal olan erkeklerde, sigara içmenin intrauterin inseminasyon (İUİ) başarısı üzerindeki etkisi incelendi. Semen örnekleri sigara kullanan (n=120) ve kullanmayan (n=125) İUİ hastalarından sağlandı. Semen analizi WHO önerileri ve Kruger kriterlerine göre manuel olarak yapıldı. Kromatin kondensasyon ve progresif motil spermatozoa yüzdesi (p<0.05) haricindeki sperm parametreleri, sigara içen ve içmeyen erkekler arasında benzer bulundu (p<0.05). Gebelik oranı ise, sigara içen grupta sigara içmeyenlere göre anlamlı olarak düşük izlendi (p<0.001). Sonuç olarak, eşin sigara içmesi İUİ yapılan kadınlarda gebelik şansı üzerine olumsuz etki göstermektedir.
