Abstract

Cigarette smoke contains a substance which is a toxic mutagenic chemical, and carcinogenic compounds, which have a negative effect on male fertility. Smoking cigarettes is associated with noticeably higher levels of the oxidative stress-causing reactive oxygen species in the seminal fluid. Because of this, smoking may cause changes to the sperm plasma membrane and a significant amount of deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation. To study the influence of smoking on sperm chromatin immaturity and ICSI outcomes (fertilization rate, embryo grading and pregnancy rate). At the laboratories of the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies and after 1-7 days of sexual abstinence, 92 males’ sperm samples were taken. After liquefaction, macro-and microscopic studies were carried out, criteria applied by the WHO 2021. Masturbation was used to obtain the sample, which was then placed in sterile containers. The relationship between the smoking and chromatin immaturity and ICSI outcomes have been evaluated. A significant positive correlation between smoking status and sperm chromatin immaturity. Furthermore, there was a negative non-significant correlation between smoking status and fertilization rate. Weak and non-significant correlations between smoking status and embryo grade 2 as well as embryo grade 3. There was a positive association between smoking status and embryo grade 1. The sperm chromatin integrity was significantly lower in the non-smoker group compared to the smoker group.
