Abstract
Background: Infertility is defined as failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. The male factor as a cause of infertility is present in 40-50% of cases. Objectives: The present study aims to assess the seminal patterns of male partners of 118 infertile couples for various parameters and their possible contribution to infertility. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on male partners of 118 infertile couples who were referred to Department of Pathology, Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada for semen analysis. The semen was collected by masturbation in all cases in a sterile container. After liquefaction, basic analysis was done which includes volume, viscosity, pH, sperm count, motility and morphology. Results: Of 118 seminograms, 42.3% showed alterations in the seminal indices; with Oligospermia in 19.5%, asthenospermia in 9.3%, Oligoasthenospermia in 5.1%and Azoospermia in 2.5%. Conclusion: Male factors were mostly responsible as a cause of infertility. Asthenospermia was the most common type of semen defect present in these infertile males. Most of the males with semen defect were of age group >30yrs. Incidence of semen defect among males increased with duration of infertility.
