“…Again, the literature holds conflicting reports. Most demonstrate no changes in motility with abstention times of 4-5 days (Heuchtel et al, 1256(Heuchtel et al, 1981Jouannet et al, 1981;Tyler et al, 1982a) but there are suggestions (from subjective evaluation) of both increased motility (weak correlation: Poland et al, 1985) and decreased motility (MacLeod and Gold, 1952a,b;Le Lannou et al, 1986). Many of these discrepancies may relate to the provision of only one ejaculate and chance fluctuations in measurements of subjective parameters.…”

Four healthy donors provided three ejaculates on one day to deplete their sperm reserves and also after abstention periods of 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and 14 days. The percentage of spermatozoa that were normally formed, progressively motile and which swelled in hypotonic medium remained unchanged throughout this period and the increase in total numbers of viable spermatozoa for 10 days prompted a comparison of seven donors and six oligozoospermic men. Multiple ejaculations after 10 days of abstinence for the patients with low normal, motile sperm numbers increased the total number, number of normal and number of motile spermatozoa by a mean of 230, 370 and 520%, respectively.

“…In addition, there is general agreement that the secretory activities of the epididymis and prostate (Elzanaty et al. , 2005), semen volume and sperm concentration (LeLannou et al. , 1986; Blackwell & Zaneveld, 1992; Pellestor et al.…”

Relationship between semen quality and seminal plasma components: alpha-glucosidase, fructose and citrate in infertile men compared with a normospermic population of Tunisian men

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the secretory function of the male accessory glands and sperm parameters in normospermic controls and infertile patients. One hundred and fifty-nine men were investigated: they were composed of two groups: normospermic (n = 37) and infertile (n = 122) men with altered sperm characteristics. These infertile men were divided into the following groups: asthenozoospermia (n = 38), teratozoospermia (n = 40) and asthenoteratozoospermia (n = 44). The patients underwent semen analysis and measurements of fructose, neutral alpha-glucosidase and citric acid. The level of fructose was significantly decreased in asthenozoospermic and increased in asthenoteratozoospermic men. It was significantly correlated with semen volume, sperm count, motility and morphology. The seminal alpha-glucosidase levels were significantly correlated with semen volume and pH and citric acid was significantly correlated with pH. Thus, alpha-glucosidase and citric acid levels were associated with semen pH. The significant correlation between semen parameters, accessory glands and epididymal functions highlights the relationship between semen and normal genital tract function.

“…Comparing single and married men, the former has higher levels of testosterone than later counterparts; and those who reported being in happy and conflict-free marriages possess reduced male hormone levels in relation to their counterparts in rocky unions (58). Higher testosterone levels exist among childless fathers compared to the married men who have children (59). Medical experts and researchers have found out that since men with infertility problems produce less sperm per ejaculation, they need to ejaculate 14 more to match the ejaculation of a normal healthy person (60).…”

Background: Previous research has documented that sexual abstinence can improve sperm quality. Sexologists have reported that sperms stored in a latex condom decrease at a rate of 60% per minute. Objective: The objective of the current review is to explore the relationship between sexual abstinence duration and other factors that affect standard and substandard semen production. Design: A scientific review of published literature. Main Outcome Measure: Specific focus is to discuss how sexual abstinence behaviours relate to the production, quality and efficiency of sperms and semen in relation to the different characteristics such as duration of abstinence, age, and psychological behaviours. The study will also seek to verify if there is a link between sexual abstinence and semen production or what triggers semen production in men. Results: From the reviewed literature, data analysis on oligozoospermic samples indicated a peak motility of 30% after 1 day of abstinence. After 2 days of abstinence, the recorded average percentage of the normal sperm morphologies among the moderate and mild oligozoospermic samples ranged from 7% to 8.5%. The increase of the normal sperm morphology was statistically significant (P < 0.003) and sperm motility (P < 0.001) that were in line with the average percentage production of 7.5% and 31.9%, respectively. The significant sperm production was recorded between day 3 and day 8 of abstinence. Conclusion:The data obtained supports the literature on abstinence in facilitating male infertility treatment. Thus, the data argues that so as to present the best semen samples for fertility treatment, men should collect semen sample after 3-8 days of abstinence as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Patients that present normal sperms give sperm donations for cryopreservation ought to be informed not to exceed the 10-day abstinence duration as the quality of the sperms is compromised.
