Abstract

The study was conducted on 82 male people, aged 20-40 years old, living with infertility and suffering from epidemic mumps without symptoms of clinical orchitis in childhood Dependening on the incidence of mumps, they were divided into groups. All groups were subjected to the estimation of the concentration of hormones in the blood plasma (testosterone, estradiol and corticosterone) which is carried by the radioimmunoassay method and competitive protein-link method issued for cortisol estimation. The ejaculate (semen) examination in a manner count on light microscope were conducted. The results showed low levels of increase of the testosterone and steroidal hormones in the infected group, compared to the control group. The results also showed higher levels of corticosterone and cortisol hormones in the infected groups, compared to the control group. The result of ejaculate examination showed that 36 patients (55.2%) have disturbed spermatogenesis and 8 of them (12.3%) have azoopermiam, i.e. complete sterility.
