In this paper will be studied the causes that can cause overweight in men, and the disorder of hormone production from endocrine glands, as well as the influence of obesity in infertility. Purpose of the work, it is to determine the degree of male infertility by overweight men. The work was done in the region of Peja, in the Republic of Kosovo. Materials and methods, the sampling was done in March 2015-March 2017 in the Biolab-Zafi endocrinology laboratory in Peja, Republic of Kosovo. Our results show a significant increase in male infertility rates with BMI 29.97 ± 3.22, compared with men with BMI 23.52 ± 2.0 (p<0.00001). We also found a significant increase in working group rates with FSH 7.99 ± 8.21, compared to control group FSH 4.72 ± 2.63 (p<0.008). We also found a significant increase in working group rates with LH 5.06 ± 2.74, compared to control group LH 3.79 ± 1.99 (p<0.002). We also found a significant increase in working group rates with Prolactin 17.37 ± 7.66, compared to control group Prolacitn 13.05 ± 4.8 (p<0.00004). We also found a significant increase in working group rates with Testosterone 4.16 ± 1.88, compared to control group Testosterone 5.79 ± 1.48 (p<0.005). Conclusion, the results from this study show that obesity in our country, the Republic of Kosovo, is a growing problem in the development of public health, and is an important risk factor for the appearance of male infertility. The effects of BMI growth tend to increase the risk of DNA damage in ejaculates, increase in hormone levels (FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone), decrease sperm parameters (decrease in number, decrease in movement), oxidative stress, Risk of hypertension, cardiac disorders, diabetes and other chronic disorders.
