Journal Title: Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Approximately 10-15% of couples suffer from infertility all over the world and male factor is responsible in 45%of cases. Determining the possible etiology of male infertility is very important. The aim of this study was to analyze the seminal fluid parameters of the male partner of infertile couples and to try to identify the abnormalities present and to determine the possible contribution of male factors. A total of 406 consenting male partners of women attending the infertility clinics were recruited and their semen analysis was performed for volume, pH, liquefaction, viscosity, sperm concentration, motility and morphology. Maximum numbers of patients (34.5%) were in the age group 30-35 years, 15.8% had hypospermia while 84.2% had normal semen volume. 8.4% had motile sperms, 36% had motility less than 50% and 55.7 % had motility more than 50%.In our study 7.9% had azoospermia, 37.5% had count less than 20 million /ml and 54.7% had count more than 20 million/ml. 11.8% had abnormal morphology and 88.2% had normal morphology. Semen analysis is the cornerstone of the laboratory evaluation of the infertile male and helps us to define the severity of the male factor. It is very important to recognize the contribution of the male partner to infertility and to reduce the stigma attached to the female partner alone.
