Numerous studies verify that the majority of cases of male infertility belong to the group diagnosed with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), which means a decrease in the number of sperm in the ejaculate to 15 million / ml, reduced sperm motility of the spermatozoa and morphological disorders of the neck or tail of the sperm.
Genuine scientific studies can not pinpoint the cause of these changes, however, recent advances in science shed light on this issue by confirming the reason, which is as a result of the action of free radicals - oxidative stress.
The enlightenment project in the field of male infertility in North Macedonia will include a wide team of: students, general practitioners, assistants, professors of pre-clinical subjects, professors and specialists in the field of gynecology, urology and andrologists. The involvement of such a large number of professionals once again verifies the seriousness and determination that this scientific project has.
Investigators hope to contribute generously to:
