“…These studies concluded that the semen volume is one of the most important factors associated with infertility. Numerous other studies have also proven that abnormalities in semen volume can impact fertility 13,14 . Similarly, the abnormal appearance, pH, viscosity and liquefaction time of the semen can indicate certain underlying pathologies which must be treated accordingly 12 , as these might be the only reasons preventing successful fertilization 12,13 .…”

Introduction: Seminal fluid analysis is the initial investigation for any couple presenting with either primary or secondary infertility. In this study, we aim to study the seminal fluid parameters among Bhutanese patients who presented at the infertility clinic for an initial seminal fluid examination. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the Infertility Clinic of the National Referral Hospital, Bhutan from January to December 2022. Using the census sampling technique, data on seminal parameters of 304 patients was extracted from the clinic’s register. A descriptive analysis of frequencies and percentages on the above data was performed using IBM Corp’s SPSS version 26.0, Armonk, NY). Results: The result showed that the majority 217(70.4%) of the patients who came for semen analysis were in the age range between 30 and 39 years. Among 304 patients examined, 72(23.7%) showed normal semen parameters while 232(76.3%) displayed abnormalities in their semen parameters. These abnormalities were further categorised as follows: Azoospermia 14(4.6%), Oligozoospermia 109(35.9%), Asthenozoospermia 23(7.6%) and 86(28.2%) cases were Oligoasthenozoospermia. Conclusions: This study provides a scientific data for the first time regarding seminal parameters of patients that visited infertility clinics. This data can serve as a reliable reference and valuable source of evidence for clinicians and future researchers. As the pioneering study of its kind in the country, this study generates fundamental evidence-based data for the global scientific community as well, promoting sustained research involvement in the field of reproductive medicine over the long run.

Objectives: Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital (JDWNRH) is the only facility offering intrauterine insemination (IUI) services in the country. In this study, we aim to study the success rate of IUI for the year 2022. Material and Methods: This retrospective study utilized secondary data extracted from the medical records of a cohort of 57 patients who underwent IUI procedures at the infertility clinic between January and December 2022. Ethical clearance and site approval were obtained from the Institutional Review Board at Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan and JDWNRH, respectively. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.0 by IBM Corp in Armonk, NY, was used to calculate frequencies, percentages and create statistical diagrams. Results: In the year 2022, the overall success rate of IUI was 5.3%. A majority of infertile men, representing 78.9%, fell within the age range of 30–39 years, and oligozoospermia emerged as the most common semen abnormality, affecting 45.6% of the infertile men in this study. Conclusion: Our study revealed that the IUI success rate in the country was 5.3%. This success rate of IUI in the country was found to be low compared to the success rate in neighboring countries. This is important information for patients to make informed decisions, aids fertility specialists in devising treatment plans, directs the allocation of resources, drives research and development initiatives, and informs policy and strategic adjustments at the national level.
