Background: Females with primary infertility are subjected to various investigations. Most of them are subjected for stimulation of ovulation. Before subjecting them for stimulation, case selection is important. Knowledge about the basic problems involved in infertility is very important. The male factor should be ruled out. Whatever the reason may be, the females bare the sole responsibility. In infertile couples, oxidative stress (OS) in the females involved where male factor is the cause is estimated. Because the mental stress they face in the society may increase the levels of oxidative stress in them. Aim: Serum level of oxidative stress marker Malondialdehyde (MDA) was done in females in infertile couples where the male factor plays the causative factor. Estimated levels were compared with the MDA levels of fertile females. Materials and methods: 17 infertile couples who were at.. Read More»
