Abstract To understand the infections of Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU) and human papilloma virus (HPV) in the genitourinary tract of infertile men in Shengyang area, and to analyze the related factors of infection. Methods: A total of 2000 infertility males aged between 18 and 50 years old were randomly selected as respondents from 20 reproductive medical institutions (200 males in each institution) in Shengyang area between January 2018 and January 2021. The urogenital tract secretion samples of these men were collected for UU and HPV detections. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted in them to analyze the related influencing factors of urogenital tract UU and HPV infections of infertile men. Results: Among 2000 questionnaires distributed, 1921 questionnaires were recovered, with the recovery rate of 96.05%. In these 1921 men, there were 531(27.64%) cases with UU positive and 78 (4.1%) cases with HPV positive. The proportions of junior high school education or below, no fixed occupation, smoking, poor personal health, and temporary sex partner the men with UU infection were significant higher than those of the men without UU infection. The percentages of junior high school or below, poor personal hygiene, and temporary sex partner of the men with HPV infection were significant higher than those of the men without HPV infection (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in age and drinking history between the men with UU infection and the men without UU infection, and here were no significant differences in age, occupation, smoking history, and drinking history between the men with HPV infection and the men without HPV infection (P>0.05). Logistic multivariate
regression analysis showed that junior high school or below, poor personal hygiene, and having a temporary sex partner were the independent risk factors of UU and HPV infections in the genitourinary tract of infertile men (P<0.05). Conclusion: The infection rate of UU in genitourinary tract of infertile men in Shengyang was high, while the infection rate of HPV was low. Low educational background (junior high school or below), poor personal hygiene, and having temporary sex partners were the independent risk factors of UU and HPV infections in infertile men, which should be paid enough attention to.
