Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Senegal, marital infertility is a real problem for society. We undertook the study of this subject to make an analysis of the spermatic parameters of the infertile Senegalese man and to better understand the impact of testicular morphological anomalies on male fertility. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive, retrospective study of 100 infertile patients followed at the Histology-Embryology-Cytogenetics laboratory of UCAD in Dakar, during the year 2020. Sperm parameters, presence of varicocele, and testicular volume were evaluated in our patients. RESULTS/DISCUSSION The mean age of the patients was 35.17±8.7 years. A history of sexually transmitted infections was found in 57% of patients. The mean duration of infertility was 5.67±3.2 years. The mean sperm count was 14,871,230/ml±4,950,000. Necrospermia was the most frequent abnormality found (60%), followed by asthenospermia (51%). The high rate of necrospermia could be explained by the high frequency of sexually transmitted infections. Other abnormalities were oligospermia (48%, including 09% cryptospermia), azoospermia (19%), teratospermia (19%), and hypospermia (13%). The predominance of azoospermia and oligospermia should prompt a search for a genetic predisposition in these subjects. The mean testicular volume was 10.3±4.9 cc on the right and 9.5±4.8 cc on the left. A single or bilateral varicocele was found in 43% of subjects. Patients with azoospermia and teratospermia were associated with testicular hypotrophy with a significant value (p=0.04). CONCLUSION Overall, the senegalese man consulting for infertility is a young adult, married for an average of 5 years. Necrospermia is the most frequently found anomaly. The severity of both qualitative and quantitative abnormalities should lead to a systematic search for a genetic origin. The etiological research of infertile patients must be done within a multidisciplinary framework to propose better management of these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION While the incidence of various chromosomal anomalies observed, including triploid partial moles is independent of the socio-economic level, higher incidences of complete hydatidiform mole "CHM" is generally associated with under developed areas. Moreover, studies have shown that some nutritional deficiencies are related to the abnormal development of oocytes and placenta. In Senegal and Morocco, the annual seasonal cycle contains one period with food shortages and the incidence of complete moles is significant. Accordingly, accurate statistical analyses have been performed in these two countries. METHODS Each month during a one year period, we investigated the occurrence of normal conceptions, molar conceptions and the conception of the future patients in Senegal and Morocco. The comparisons of the conception dates for these three types of conception were analyzed using the Chi-squared test. RESULTS 94% of the patients were conceived just prior to the period in the year with food shortages. Consequently, the development of the female embryos occurred under nutritional constraints, which negatively affect the recruitment of the vital factors required for the normal synthesis of DNA, proteins and placental differentiation. DISCUSSIONS A nutritional deficiency in the mother at conception of their daughter (future patient) is implicated in the higher incidence of CHM in their daughters' filiation. These nutritional deficiencies during the first weeks of pregnancy will have repercussions on the normal development of the oocytes. Accordingly, these developmental impairments take place during the embryonic life of the future mothers of complete moles and not during the conception of the moles themselves.
