Objective: To assess the frequency of abnormal sperm motility and related factors in male smokers with primary infertility. Place and duration of the study: From 8th Feb 2021 to 8th Feb 2022 at Gynaecology Department of Bakhtawar Amin Trust Teaching Hospital Multan for 1 year Study design: A retrospective study Methodology: A total of 120 patients were included in the study among which 100 patients were smokers and 20 patients were non-smokers. For sample collection, patients were asked to masturbate and collect the first portion of ejaculate to ensure the maximum amount of sperm. Semen analysis was done on regular basis under a light microscope according to WHO guidelines. After the semen liquefaction, the 10μl of the sample was analyzed on a glass slide covered with a coverslip. For evaluating the motility, 200 spermatozoa were counted in 5 fields at 200x magnification. Results: Six non-smokers (30%) showed low motility. In comparison, 76 smokers (63.3%) showed low motility. Low motility was observed more in smokers as compared to smokers. The difference between motility in smokers and non-smokers was statistically significant (<0.001) (Chi sq= 23.55). Cigarette smoking also affected the sperm count as 24 (20%) smokers had a low sperm count. Conclusion: Smoking affects vital sperm characteristics such as sperm count and motility and in turn, be a potential cause of subfertility or infertility. Keywords: Cigarette smoking, male fertility, sperm count, sperm motility.
Aim: Aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of factors underlying postmenopausal bleeding in local population. Study design: A cross sectional study Duration and place: Department of obstetrics and gynecology of Bakhtawar Amin Trust Hospital Multan from 14th April 2019 to 14th April 2020.

SPSS-IBM version 20 was used used to analyze data.P value 50.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Atrophic endometrium was seen in 46.2% patients, Endometritis 18.5%, Endometrial hyperplasia 10%, Endometrial carcinoma 5.4%, Cervical cancer 7.7% and Polyp was 10.8%. Conclusion: It can be concluded that only the most frequent cause of PBM in post menopausal women was found similar to previous data, all other causes had different ranking. Keywords: Post menopausal bleeding, cervical cancer, endometrial atrophy
