Abstract

Male infertility is associated with a wide range of pathological conditions affecting both the sexual and other body systems: endocrine, nervous, blood, and immune. Laser therapy is a form of modern physiotherapy that applies low-intensity laser radiation in various parts of the body. It is widely used in all areas of modern medicine due to its high efficiency, ease of use, the absence of contraindications and side effects. The authors reviewed the results of 171 studies investigating laser therapy, of which 93 were experimental (20 in Russian and 73 international publications), 4 clinical and experimental (all in Russian), 74 clinical (73 in Russian and 1in English). Along with domestic literature, publications in Russian from Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine were studied. The article analyzes the experimental studies, somehow related to the problem of infertility and its treatment using low-intensity lasers. The analysis findings suggest that there are all prerequisites to develop a laser therapy as an effective modality for treating infertile men.
