“…Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia was found in 14.8% and severe oligoasthenospermia was found in 17.8% of the males. This is comparable to a study by Kumar et al, 10 which assessed the prevalence of male factor infertility over a period of 10 years in Central India and the incidence of oligospermia was found to be 34%.…”

BACKGROUND Rising trends of male factor infertility has been reported worldwide. Lifestyle, food habits and even cell phone usage has been implicated in this. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of seminal abnormalities in infertile men attending the infertility clinic. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of seminal parameters in male partners of infertile couples attending the infertility clinic in Institute of Maternal and Child Health, Calicut, between October 2015 and November 2016. RESULTS A total of 1072 semen analysis reports were reviewed. As per the reference standards set by the 2010 World Health Organization manual of semen analysis, normozoospermia was found in 4.9%, asthenoteratozoospermia in 56.6%, oligoasthenoteratospermia in 14.08%, severe oligoasthenospermia in 17.8% and azoospermia in 4.3%. Teratozoospermia was found in 1.58%. CONCLUSION Asthenoteratozoospermia was the commonest semen abnormality found in male partners of infertile couples. Severe male factor, that is, severe oligoasthenospermia and azoospermia together constitute around 22% of the abnormalities. Combined factor abnormalities are more prevalent than single factor abnormalities.

“…A total of 19.35% of tested men were azoospermic, meaning they lacked spermatozoa in their semen completely. In addition, 10.70% had less than 30% motility and over 60% abnormal morphology (Kumar et al ., ). A study performed in Los Angeles, California, found that 18% were abnormal in concentration with under 20 million sperm/mL, only 4% were azoospermic, 51% of men were abnormal in motility, and 14% had abnormal morphology (Acacio et al ., ).…”

SUMMARYWith about 70 million cases of infertility worldwide, half of which are caused by male factors, sperm analysis is critical to determine male fertility potential. Conventional semen analysis methods involve complex and manual inspection with a microscope, and these methods are labor intensive and can take several days. Due to unavailability of rapid, convenient, and user-friendly semen analysis tools, many men do not seek medical evaluation, especially in resource-constrained settings. Furthermore, as conventional methods have to be conducted in the laboratories, many men are unwilling to be tested as a result of social stigma in certain regions of the world. One solution can be found in at-home sperm analysis, which allows men to test their semen without the hassle of going to and paying for a clinic. Herein, we examine current at-home sperm analysis technologies and compare them to the traditional laboratory-based methods. In addition, we discuss emerging sperm analysis approaches and describe their limitations and future directions.
