title: [Self concept of men from childless married couples after receiving information about sperm value].
abstract: The questionnaire included 220 men from childless married couples who referred to the Department of Reproduction and Andrology of the Medical Academy in Lublin for 4 months in 1992. The treatment period of childlessness in those couples ranged from several months to 17 years. The authors tried to establish if, and to what extent the receipt of information affected the well being and sexual life of those men. It was found out that the information and awareness of the value of own sperm resulted in the change of well being in 80.5% of the studied men. In the subjective evaluation they appeared to be more irritable in everyday life and/or their feeling about own value as men was reduced. Such changes were noticed both by those who had been informed about the proper test results as well as by those with test results varying from the standard. In almost half of the respondents (41.8%) the sexual activity was changed or the frequency of sexual satisfaction feeling was reduced. The obtained results as well as the lack of wider approach to this problem in Polish literature indicate the significance of further studies.
