Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the role of paternal obesity on intracytoplasmic sperm injection success. Methods: The retrospective study was conducted in Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey, from January 2015 to September 2017, and comprised data of infertile couples having undergone intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle. The data was divided into three groups on the basis of paternal body mass index (BMI): normoweight NW (body mass index0.05). Paternal obesity was not associated with sperm count and motility (p>0.05) either. Regression analysis showed that paternal obesity had no predictive effect on intracytoplasmic sperm injection success (p>0.05). Conclusion: Excess weight in male partner had no effect on intracytoplasmic sperm injection success.
