Background: Seminal fluid analysis is essential in the evaluation of the male partner of infertile couple. Available data suggest an increase in male-related factors among infertile couples seeking fertility treatment. Seminal fluid analysis performed using standardized methods can identify several causes of male-factor infertility. The latest World Health Organization (2010) guidelines for the laboratory examination and processing of human semen allows for standardization and identification of the possible causes of male-factor infertility. This study aimed to determine the pattern of seminal fluid analysis of male partners of infertile couple presenting to the fertility (gynaecological and urological) clinics of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).Methods: This was a retrospective study of the semen parameters of male partners of infertile couple that were evaluated at LUTH, from January 2018 to December 2019. The medical records of all male partners of infertile couples who had seminal fluid analysis were reviewed and the relevant seminal fluid parameters were collected using a standardized questionnaire.Results: A total of 604 male partners of couples with infertility sought fertility treatment during the study period. Out of the 604, 502 (83.1%) of the participants had complete seminal fluid result and these data were included in final analysis. The mean (SD) age of subjects was 42.1 (7.7) years. About three-quarter (73.1%) of the subjects have abnormal semen parameters. The most frequent semen abnormality was asthenozoospermia (55.8%) followed by oligozoospermia (39.4%).Conclusions: Male factor is still common cause of infertility among infertile couple seeking treatment in our environment.

Background: The importance of male factor contribution to infertility is well recognised. Semen analysis is an indispensable diagnostic tool in the evaluation of the male partners of infertile couples.  Aim and objective of the study was conducted to determine the abnormalities in semen among male partners in infertile couples.Methods: Detailed history, examination and semen analysis was done. Semen samples were analysed for volume, viscosity, sperm concentration, motility, and morphology, according to WHO guidelines.Results: This study, done at a tertiary care center in north eastern India has demonstrated that abnormal semen quality is a major factor contributing to infertility in couples. Total number of participants were 94. Most of the male partners i.e. 65.96%, who came for infertility evaluation were between 30-39 years of age with 56.38% participants having abnormal semen parameters. The most common abnormality found was asthenozoospermia seen in 35.11% of cases followed by oligozoospermia seen in 25.53% of cases. Teratozoospermia and azoospermia were seen in 7.45% and 4.26% of cases respectively.Conclusions: Males contribute towards infertility in couples significantly. Abnormal semen pattern is a common cause. More research is needed to render more valuable and significant results regarding male infertility.

Background: In India, the prevalence of primary infertility ranges from 3.9% to 16.8%. Male factor contributes 40-50% of this. Male factor infertility is indicated by decreased sperm concentration, reduced motility, vitality or abnormal sperm morphology. Semen analysis is the single most important investigation to detect male factor infertility. The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence of abnormal semen parameters among males in infertile couples and their association with contributing factors.Methods: This cross-sectional hospital-based study was carried out in the Department of Pathology at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital. A total of 400 cases were analyzed during a period of 6 months. Detailed history of the couple was taken. Semen analysis was done using automated semen analyzer (SQA-vision) after 3 days of abstinence according to the WHO 5th edition 2010 guidelines. The results were analysed using excel sheet and SPSS software.Results: In the present study, 122 cases (30.5%) out of 400 cases had abnormal semen parameters. Most common abnormality detected was asthenozoospermia (14.3%) followed by oligozoospermia (13.8%), azoospermia (10.5%) and teratozoospermia (10.5%). There was significant association of alcohol intake, obesity and trauma with abnormal semen parameters.Conclusions: Asthenozoospermia was the most common abnormality noted in this study. Lifestyle modifications along with timely medical attention in male partners of infertile couples can improve the semen quality.

Background & objective: Infertility is a problem of public health importance because of its high prevalence and serious social implications on affected couples and families. Although once believed that the problem is solely due to female factor, it is now generally accepted that male factor infertility is equally as important as the female factor. However, it is not known how far the problem is attributed to male factor. The present study is intended to find the prevalence of male infertility among the infertile couples and its determinants in the context of Bangladeshi population. Patients & Methods: The present study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on male partners of infertile couples (over a period of three months) visiting the Infertility Clinic of Bangladesh Institute of Research and Development in Endocrine & Metabolism (BIRDEM) General Hospital, Dhaka. Male infertility was defined as the inability of a man to make his partner conceive (because of quantitative and/or quantitative deficiency of his sperm) after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. On the basis of semen analysis, male partners were divided into two groups – Infertile Group and Fertile Group and the suspected factors were compared between groups using crosstab analysis to determine the factors responsible for male infertility. Result: The present study demonstrated that respondents were generally middle aged (between 30-50 years) with mean age being 35.5 years. Majority (88.5%) was Muslim and belonged to middle class (74.3%). Nearly half (47%) was service-holder and one-third (35.8%) was businessman. About 62% of the male partners were revealed to be infertile on semen analysis [combined prevalence of azoospermia (19%), asthezoospermia (29.2%) oligospermia (12.8%), and teratzoospermia (7.1%)]. Of them nearly one-third (azoospermic ones) was solely responsible for infertility and the rest played contributing role to the overall infertility. The reproductive tract infection (STDs) was reported to be alarmingly high among infertile males (21.4%) than that among their fertile peers (p = 0.002). Smoking, varicocele, overweight or obesity and diabetes also demonstrated their significant presence among infertile males compared to the fertile male group. History of occupational exposure to high temperature, pesticide, trauma to testes, abdominal and urogenital surgery were not associated with male partner fertility. Conclusion: From the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that a substantial proportion of infertility can be attributed due to male partner infertility and its significant predictors are reproductive tract infections or sexually transmitted diseases. The second leading causes are varicocel, diabetes and obesity. Ibrahim Card Med J 2016; 6 (1&2): 25-32
