Abstract
Objective: To assess testosterone levels among workers exposed to higher workplace temperature versus Controls.
Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study was done from 01-09-2022 To 02-02-2023 in the Attock city. Group A (Tandoor workers) and Group B (Bankers) each had 81 participants. A structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic, and reproductive health data, while reports of semen analysis and testosterone were recorded on a data sheet developed using MS Excel.
Results: Group A (Tandoor workers) predominantly (46%) belonged to the age group 31-35 years. Of 57% of infertile individuals, 56% were not aware of the cause. In 9% and 12%, sperm motility was active and sluggish, respectively. 2% of sperm had normal morphology and 19% had zero sperms. Group B (Bankers) (38%) belonged to the age group 31-35 years. 47% of infertile individuals, and out of them, 50% were not aware of the cause. In 5% and 8%, sperm motility was active and sluggish, respectively. 13% of sperm had normal morphology and 23% had zero sperms.
Conclusion: Higher prevalence of infertility was found among tandoor workers in comparison to bankers, primarily because of a higher percentage of sluggish, morphologically abnormal, and dead sperms. There was no significant correlation between workplace temperature, infertility, and sex hormone level.

Key words: Infertility, Pakistan, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus.
