Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study was performed to know whether toxemia occurred more frequently in pregnancy which is achieved despite of azoospermia or severe oligospermia.
METHODS
We selected 31 women who underwent surgical sperm aspiration and ICSI at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) from 1995 to 2001 and pregnancy continued over 20 gestational age as study group. And as a comparison group, 19 women who underwent ICSI at SNUH from 1995 to 2001 with no semen analysis abnormality and pregnancy continued over 20 gestational age were selected. The incidence of toxemia in both groups was observed.
RESULTS
There were no differences in the incidence of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia between groups (RR=3.46, 95%CI 0.37-32.18) (RR=0.91, 95%CI 0.14-6.02).
CONCLUSION
No association was observed between preconceptional sperm exposure to female genital tract and the incidence of toxemia.
