ABSTRACT

The role that adequate iodine intake could have on the male reproductive function is not entirely known. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a relation between male infertility and urinary and semen iodine levels in 96 couples who underwent consultation for infertility. The median of semen iodine was higher in men who consumed iodized salt than in those who consumed non-iodized salt (p=0.019). Men with a higher semen iodine level had more morphological alterations in spermatozoa (p=0.032). Men with a higher urinary iodine level had a lower motile sperm count according to the "direct swim-up" technique (p=0.044). Men >3years without successfully achieving pregnancy had a higher urinary iodine level than those with ≤ 3years (p=0.035). In conclusion, iodine may play a role in the quality of semen: an increase in semen iodine levels is associated with different variables related to male infertility.
