These men attend the Infertility Treatment Center at Kut Hospital, Wasit, Iraq. infertile men were exposed to the sunlight without using sunscreen for ten minutes at daily intervals over 3 months. Seminal fluid parameters, as well as the level ofVitamin D3, Folliclestimulating hormone (FSH), Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Testosterone, were measured before and after exposure to sunlight.
