OBJECTIVE: To evaluate mental status of the infertile men and explore the risk factors for the mental disorders.METHODS: Men with perceived male infertility were divided into two groups(mild or severe)according to their severity of semen quality from Aug. 2015 to Feb. 2016 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.Their mental health was assessed with the symptom check list(SCL-90).Multiple Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors of the mental disorders.RESULTS: The SCL-90 total score,somatization factor score,depression factor score,anxiety factor score and psychoticism factor score of the poor semen quality group were significantly higher than those of the group with better semen quality(P<0.05).RESULTS: of the Logistic regression analysis showed that the general risk factors for mental disorders in infertile men were irregular daily life,irregular meals,lack of regular exercise,recent experience of significant adverse events and poor semen quality.Among them,poor semen quality was the risk factor for the anxiety factor,while the risk factors for depression were irregular daily life,lack of regular exercise and recent experience of significant adverse events.CONCLUSION: Men with perceived male infertility tend to have more severe psychological disorders when their semen quality is poor.Men who do not have regular daily life,meals or exercise,or who have recently experienced significant adverse events or who have poorer semen quality are more prone to mental disorders.
