[Changes in the fertility indices among professional drivers].
With the purpose of studying the supposed risk for the male inseminative ability, the fertile indices of 80 professional drivers (main group) and 159 representatives of professions accepted as not having professional harms (control group) have been examined. The results show significantly higher percentage part for the drivers with disturbed inseminative ability (66.25%) compared to the males of the control group (35.85%)-(P < 0.001). The date for the frequency of pyospermia are analogical: 28.75% of the drivers versus 16.98% of the control group (P < 0.05). Statistically main differences in the percentage distribution among the smokers, sufferers from chronic prostate or varicocele, carriers of pathogenic microorganisms in the sperm are not noticed, but in all these cases there is an unfavourable tendency for the drivers. The representatives of this widely spread profession among men have to be warned of the risk for possible changes in the fertility.
