Abstract
Fertility denotes the ability of a man and woman to reproduce. Conversely, infertility denotes lack of fertility, an involuntary reduction in the ability to produce children. The aim of this study was to find out the various causes of secondary infertility in males and correlate them with the studies of previous authors. The study was carried out on 67 males with history of secondary infertility. Detailed history of these patients was taken. Clinical examination and investigations were done. Semen analysis was done. On karyotyping, Chromosomal abnormalities were found in two patients.
Keywords: -Secondary infertility, Chromosomal abnormality, Male infertility, Karyo typing.
