MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective observational study (May–September 2016). Analysis- SPSS v16. RESULTS 200 semen analyses were done in the study period; <30 years- 8.5%, 30-35 years- 40%, 36-40 years- 25%, 40-45 years- 19.5%, >45 years -7%. The various semen analysis results were as follows: Mild asthenozoospermia- 65%, mild asthenoteratozoospermia3%, mild oligoasthenozoospermia- 13%, severe oligoasthenozoospermia- 16%, azoospermia- 0.001%, normozoospermia- 3%. The severe oligoasthenozoospermic patients were more in the 30-35 age groups (14 patients). The mean and standard deviation for the analysed patients in the following parameters is as mentioned, total count- 57.87 million ± 11 million, total motility- 55% ± 17%. Progressive motility- 14% ± 6%, Morphology normal forms- 1.8% ± 0.8%, Abnormal morphology distribution were mainly contributed by head defects- 89%, followed by mid pieces (6%), tail (4%) and cytoplasmic droplets (1%). Abstinence >4 days was noted to be associated with progressive motility <25 (<0.05). CONCLUSION Male factor contributes to almost 30% - 40% of reproductive failure, with teratozoospermia being very commonly seen. A detailed risk factor analysis will help in identifying any modifiable factors.
