SEMEN PARAMETERS OF 100 TRULY INFERTILEMEN
Abstract
Semen examination were performed on 100 truly infertilemen. The results obtained were compared with those of supposeddy infertilemen. Our findings indicate that the mean sperm count, mean totalsperm per ejaculate, mean percentage motility and morphology of truly infertile males were lower than past reports suggest. Our results showed that a realist cutoff point between fertile and infertile semen should be a sperm concentration of 25 million/ml, a total sperm per ejaculate of 60 million, percentage motive and well-formed sperm of 40 and 50 respectively.References
