In infertile men thyroid hormone and antibody testing was performed and correlated with the results of semen analyses. Evaluation included semen analyses, physical examination, evaluation of sex steroid hormones, thyroid hormones (bTSH, fT4, fT3) and thyroid antibody testing (TGA, TPO-Ab, TRAK). Furthermore 45 men with normal thyroid function were scheduled for TRH testing. No one was diagnosed as having manifest hypo- or hyperthyroidism. Latent thyroid dysfunction had no effect on semen parameters. Elevated TPO-Ab were significantly correlated with reduction in motility of spermatozoa. The routine assessment of thyroid hormones and antibodies in infertile men is not recommended. Subclinical hypothyroidism as a result of TRH testing is a rare finding in infertile men.

OBJECTIVES: To test the serum sexual hormone and sperm cytology in aspermia patients. METHODS: Radioimmunoassay (RIA) and Wright-Giemsa stain were used to detect serum sexual hormone and sperm cytology in 45 aspermia patients. RESULTS: Among the 45 patients, spermatogenetic cells were detected in 16 patients(35.6%). The level of serum testerone were decreased in 16 patients, and FSH, LH were increased in 13 cases as well as that of PRL in 4 cases. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that the testis function was demaged, the ratio of T/LH could further reflect the function of Leydig cells, the detection of PRL were significant only in diagnosis of aspermia induced by hypermia. It is an important index in identifying obstructive and non-obstructive aspermia and has important significance in estimating the extention of testis demage and commanding the clinical treatment of serum hormone detection and sperm cell analysis.
