Abstract:
Objective: To study the current demographic situation in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the prevalence of male infertility and its proportion in childless families. Material and methods: The official demographic data of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, the results of a special survey of families living in urban and rural areas (4557 in total) and the results of
spermograms of 300 men who sought medical care for infertility were studied and analyzed. Results: The dynamics
of natural increase in the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan remains progressive. Good demographic indicators
are explained by the relatively large number of families with 2 or more children in the population. Families with 3
or more children live more often in rural areas than in cities. During the study period, childless families accounted
for 13.1% in urban areas and 11.6% in rural areas. In men who sought medical help for problems with childbearing,
38.7% were diagnosed with normospermia, 24.1% had signs of normospermic inflammation, 17.1% had asthenospermia, 14.3% had oligospermia, 5.8% azoospermia. Conclusions: Although male infertility does not pose a demographic
threat in our country, its prevalence requires attention to this problem.
