METHODS We evaluated two semen specimens from each of the male partners in 765 infertile couples and 696 fertile couples at nine sites.

Comparisons were made to see the effect of this sperm selection technique on sperm motility and morphology. They were then examined by transmission elect...

Routine semen analysis gives an approximate evaluation of the functional competence of spermatozoa, but does not always reflect the quality of sperm DNA. Therefore, the evaluation of sperm DNA integrity, in addition to routine sperm parameters, could add further informat...
