Methods: Thirty apparently infertile males were studied and compared with 30 apparently fertile male as control.Results: There was significant increase (P<0.05) in DHEAS of 1.23+0.07 ug/ml obtained in infertile male compared with 3.78 +0.13 ug/ml in the control. There was significant difference in Semen count of 56.27 +2.82million/ml in fertile males compared with 7.73+ 0.10 million/ml while testosterone in infertile males of 2.53+0.09 was significantly lower than 7.52+0.31 in fertile males(P<0.05).Conclusion: The study showed that DHEAS is elevated in infertility hence should be considered an indicator of infertility.
