To evaluate the seminal patterns of the male partners of the infertile couples, towards identifying the possible contribution of the male factors to overall infertility problem in our environment.
The study is a descriptive analysis of the seminal patterns of the partners of the infertile couples, who presented at the Fertility Research Unit (a WHO collaborating centre) of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, between 1st January 1990 and 31st December, 1999.
Result of the seminal analysis of 824 male partners of infertile couples were retrieved for the study, of which 598 (73%) were referred for secondary infertility. Overall, 225 (27.3%) of these subjects had abnormal semen analyses, with Asthenozoospermia being the most common (27.8%) of the disorders observed. Fifty-four (6.7%) subjects of the study population had Azoospermia. The most common multiple factors abnormality in the study population was Astheno/Oligozoospermia (25.5%), while three factors defect--Oligo/Astheno/Teratozoospermia was noticed in 106 (13.1%) of the subjects.
Abnormal semen quality remains a significant contribution to overall infertility in our environment and Asthenozoospermia is the most common seminal quality abnormality.
评估不育夫妇男性伴侣的精液特征，以确定男性因素对我们所处环境中整体不育问题的可能影响。
本研究是对不育夫妇男性伴侣精液特征的描述性分析，研究对象为1990年1月1日至1999年12月31日期间在尼日利亚伊巴丹大学学院医院妇产科生育研究室（世界卫生组织合作中心）就诊的不育夫妇男性伴侣。
本研究收集了824名不育夫妇男性伴侣的精液分析结果，其中598名（73%）被诊断为继发性不育。总体而言，这些受试者中有225名（27.3%）精液分析异常，弱精子症是观察到的最常见疾病（27.8%）。研究人群中有54名（6.7%）受试者无精子症。研究人群中最常见的多因素异常是弱精/少精症（25.5%），而106名（13.1%）受试者存在少精/弱精/畸形精子症这三种因素缺陷。
精液质量异常仍是我们所处环境中整体不育的一个重要因素，弱精子症是最常见的精液质量异常。
