Abstract
Purpose
In this study, we aimed to determine the differences in normospermic, oligospermic and azoospermic infertile men by performing voice analysis and to discuss this in the light of the literature.
Methods
71 male patients who applied to the urology clinic due to infertility and were then referred to us were included in the study. Hormone analysis and spermiogram were requested from the patients for routine infertility tests. Testosterone, Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Prolactin levels of the patients were recorded. Age and spermiogram results were recorded. According to the spermiogram results, the patients were categorized as Group 1 (azoospermic), Group 2 (oligospermic), Group 3 (normospermic). Voice Handicap Index-10 Turkish version (VHI-10) was applied to the patients and the results were recorded.
Results
The age of the infertile patients ranged from 20 to 37. The mean age was 28.23. The distribution of the patients was 21 patients in Group 1, 40 patients in Group 2, and 10 patients in Group 3. The mean Testosterone level of the patients was 2.78; mean FSH level 12.14; mean LH level 7.26; mean Prolactin level was 8.1. The mean VHI-10 scores of the patients were 10.52. The fundamental frequency F0 Hz (mean pitch) values of the patients were 176,468; jitter % (frequency perturbation jitter) values average 0.25; shimmer % (amplitude perturbation shimmer) values average 2,322; HNR dB values averaged 24,862.
Conclusions
Testosterone is more effective on the voice, especially in male individuals.It would be more logical to think that many hormones, growth factors and local factors are effective instead of a single hormone.
