Abstract

In this study, the evaluation of the total number of morphological anomalies per 100 sperm was more reliable, as far as potential fertility is concerned than the concentration of sperm per milliliter, the percentage of motile sperm, and the percentage of sperm with normal or abnormal morphology. This parameter allows for discrimination between subfertile and fertile semen and therefore can help in the selection of men who require assisted reproduction techniques.
