“…15 Hence, further study is required to explain the semen parameters abnormalities in infertile male and its causes in Nepalese context. Study done by Lamichhane B et al 16 also concluded that semen parameters of fertile male were lower than that stated in WHO reference value, 2010. 7 Limitation of study: This study only demonstrated the abnormality in semen parameters of male factor infertility and did not explain the possible etiologies and/or risk factors for these semen abnormalities.…”

Aims: The aim of this study is to analyze the pattern of semen abnormality in male partner of infertile couple in Nepal. Methods: A retrospective study of semen sample of male partner of infertile couple analyzed in Department of pathology, Dhulikhel Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018. All semen samples were processed and analyzed according to methods and standards outlined by World Health Organization laboratory manual for the examination and processing of human semen 2010. Results: A total of 520 semen samples were analyzed. Our study shows 221 (44%) abnormal for different semen parameters and asthenozoospermia (39.3%) is the most common abnormality followed by azoospermia (28.8 %), Oligoasthenozoospermia (17.9 %), Oligozoospermia (8.7 %), Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (3.5 %) and teratozoospermia (1.8 %). Conclusions: Abnormal semen parameters remain significant causes in overall infertility in our set up with asthenozoospermia and azoospermia were common abnormalities in male partner. Semen analysis is an inevitable tool for evaluation of infertility in male partner. Further study is required to find out the possible etiologies of male infertility for holistic management of infertility.

“…However, only few studies related to male infertility have been done in Nepal. Most of the studies in Nepal are con ned to male infertility in relation to semen parameters only [5,[16][17][18]. Therefore, it is important to understand the bacterial species composition of seminal uids to better understand the etiology and pathogenesis of urogenital tract infections and the associations between urogenital infections and infertility.…”

Infection of male urogenital tract or male accessory glands is considered as one of the important causes of male infertility, and results in the presence of bacteria in semen affecting fertility potential of men. It is important to know the composition of bacteria in semen to understand the etiology of urogenital infections and its association with infertility. This study aims to know the rate of infection in semen of infertile men, and the association of seminal bacteria with semen parameters related to fertility potential. A cross-sectional study was carried out from June 2021 to July 2022, in which 213 semen samples were collected from the male partners of couples consulting for fertility problems in an infertility center of Nepal. All the samples were processed following WHO guidelines, 2021. Analysis of semen parameters was done immediately after the liquefaction of collected samples. Microbiological assessment was also done for identification of bacteria in semen by conventional method, which showed 25.4% of samples had bacteriospermia. S. aureus and Corynebacterium were predominant bacteria in semen. The volume of semen was significantly associated with bacteriospermia. The concentration of sperms, percentage of total sperm motility, sperms with normal forms and vitality were found to be less in semen with bacteria compared to those without bacteria, which was statistically insignificant. This study provides a baseline data on bacterial infection in semen of infertile men in Nepal.
