Evaluating the Use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Male Infertility : A Critical Retrospective Study
Background: The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) has been associated with potential effects on male fertility, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between SSRIs and male infertility; Methods: A retrospective chart review of Saudi males who were treated with SSRIs and attended an infertility clinic in KSMC was undertaken. The medical records of men from an infertility clinic were reviewed to screen the quality of the sperm parameters in patients taking SSRIs; Results: In total, 299 men were identified, of whom 29 (9.6%) were exposed to SSRIs, while 270 (90.4%) did not receive SSRIs, defined as the control infertile group. When comparing the mean ages, a notable disparity was observed between the control group of infertile men (34.2 ± 6.9 years) and the infertile group using SSRIs (41.5 ± 3.2 years) (p < 0.001). Regarding the sperm analysis and the use of SSRIs, the impact of SSRIs use showed no significant differences in sperm liquefaction (p = 0.1), motility (p = 0.17), viscosity (p = 0.16), or count (p = 0.069) with escitalopram, fluoxetine, or paroxetine use; Conclusions: Our study showed no significant difference in the sperm analysis between the SSRI and non-SSRI cohorts. However, the relationship between SSRI use and sperm count warrants further investigation and consideration in clinical practice.
