DPANKAR
MALE INFERTILITY
FSH IS RAISED (normal :4-14 mIU/ml): twice than normal : Means testis is not functioning well hence (Hypothal -Pituit) sends large amount of messangers

Semen analysis should begin with a simple inspection soon after liquefaction.
30 minutes, to 1 hour after ejaculation, to preventdehydration or changes in temperature from affecting semen quality.
![Page 26: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Delayed liquefactionmaking semen evaluation difficult.
In these cases, additional treatment, mechanical mixing or enzymatic digestion may be necessary. 1. Some samples can be induced to liquefy by the addition of an equal `volume of physiological medium (e.g. Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline; followed by repeated pipetting.
2. Inhomogeneity can be reduced by repeated (6–10 times) gentle passagethrough a blunt gauge 18 (internal diameter 0.84 mm) or gauge 19 (internaldiameter 0.69 mm) needle attached to a syringe.
3. Digestion by bromelain, proteolytic enzyme may help to promote liquefaction
![Page 27: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Comment: These treatments may affect seminal plasma biochemistry, sperm motilityand sperm morphology, and their use must be recorded.

VOLUME The volume is best measured
by weighing the sample in the vessel in which it is collected.
Collect the sample in a pre-weighed, clean, disposable container.
Weigh the vessel with semen in it.
Subtract the weight of the container.
Calculate the volume from the sample weight, assuming the density of semen to be 1 g/ml
![Page 31: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
VOLUME
the volume can be measured directly.
Collect the sample directly into a modified graduated glass measuring cylinderwith a wide mouth. These can be obtained commercially. Read the volume directly from the graduations (0.1 ml accuracy).
![Page 32: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
•Comment 1: Low semen volume is characteristic of obstruction of the ejaculatory duct or congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) condition in which the seminal vesicles are also poorly developed.
•Comment 2: Low semen volume can also be the result of collection problems (loss of a fraction of the ejaculate), partial retrograde ejaculation or androgen deficiency.
•Comment 3: High semen volume may reflect active exudation in cases of active inflammation of the accessory organs.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
![Page 33: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Note: Measuring volume by aspirating the sample from the specimen container intoa pipette or syringe, or decanting it into a measuring cylinder, is not recommended,
because not all the sample will be retrieved and the volume will therefore be underestimated.The volume lost can be between 0.3 and 0.9 ml
![Page 34: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
VISCOSITYNormal viscosity

viscosity1. After liquefaction, the viscosity of the sample can be estimated
by gently aspirating it into a wide-bore (approximately 1.5 mm diameter) plastic disposable pipette,allowing the semen to drop by gravity and observing the length of any thread.
2. A normal sample leaves the pipette in small discrete drops. 3. If viscosity is abnormal,the drop will form a thread more than 2
cm long.4. The viscosity should be recorded as abnormal when the thread
exceeds 2 cm.5. In contrast to a partially unliquefied sample, a viscous semen
specimen exhibits homogeneous stickiness and its consistency will not change with time. High viscosity can be recognized by the elastic properties of the sample, which adheres strongly to itself when attempts are made to pipette it.
6. The methods to reduce viscosity are the same as those for delayed liquefaction
![Page 36: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Comment: High viscosity can interfere with determination of sperm motility, spermconcentration, detection of antibody-coated spermatozoa and measurement ofbiochemical markers
![Page 37: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PH
The pH of semen reflects the balance between the pH values of the different accessory gland secretions, mainly
the alkaline seminal vesicular secretion and
the acidic prostatic secretion.
The pH should be measured after liquefaction at a uniform time, preferably after 30 minutes, but in any case within 1 hour of ejaculationsince it is influenced by the loss of CO2 that occurs after production.
![Page 38: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
In azoospermic male:
If the pH is <7.0 in a semen sample with
low volume , there may be ejaculatory duct obstruction or congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens
pH >7.8--indicates dysfunctional seminal vesical
: Semen pH increases with time, as natural buffering decreases, so high pH values may provide little clinically useful information
![Page 39: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Depth of wet preparations=VOL. OF SAMPLE X AREA OF SPREAD
USUALLY WE NEED A DEPTH OF 20 um FOR ASSESSMENT
chamber depth of less than 20 um constrains the rotational movement ofspermatozoa (Le Lannou et al., 1992; Kraemer et al., 1998). If the chamber is too deep, it will be difficult to assess spermatozoa as they move in and out of focus

The volume of semen and the dimensions of the cover slip must be standardized,
![Page 41: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
WET PREPARATION
At a glance we get idea about: sperm density sperm morphology any other cells besides sperm agglutination debris
![Page 42: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
NUMBER OF SPERMATOZOA PER HPF IN WET PREPARATION
estimate the number of spermatozoa per HPF (×200 or ×400). One HPF is equivalent to approximately 16 nl (at
×200) or 4nl (at ×400) If spermatozoa are observed, count them, determine the necessary dilution
![Page 43: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Note:
If there are 100 spermatozoa per high-power field (HPF) of 4 nl in the initial wet preparation, there are theoretically 25 per nl (25 000 per ul or 25 millions/ ml).

Progressive motility (PR): spermatozoa moving actively, either linearly or in a large circle, regardless of speed.
Non-progressive motility (NP): all other patterns of motility with an absence of progression, e.g. swimming in small circles, the flagellar force hardly displacing the head, or when only a flagellar beat can be observed.
Immotile (IM): no movement

Lower reference limitThe lower reference limit for TOTAL MOTILITY (PR + NP) is 40% (5th centile,
The lower reference limit for PROGRESSIVE MOTILITY (PR) is 32% (5th centile,
Comment: The total number of progressively motile spermatozoa in the ejaculateis of biological significance. This is obtained by multiplying the total number ofspermatozoa in the ejaculate by the percentage of progressively motile cells.

THE IMPROVED NEUBAUER HAEMOCYTOMETER
The improved Neubauer haemocytometer has two separate counting chambers,
each of which has a microscopic 3 mm × 3 mm pattern of gridlines etched on the glass surface.
It is used with a special thick coverslip (thickness number 4, 0.44 mm), which lies over the grids and is supported by glass pillars 0.1 mm above the chamber floor.
Each counting area is divided into nine 1 mm × 1 mm grids.
These grids are referred to by the numbers
![Page 54: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

With a depth of 100 um, each grid holds 100 nl.
Four of these grids (nos 1, 3, 7 and 9) contain four rows of four squares, each holding 6.25 nl;
two grids (nos 2 and 8) contain four rows of five squares, each of 5 nl;
two grids (nos 4 and 6) contain five rows of four squares, each of 5 nl; and squaresthe central grid (number 5) contains five rows of five squares, each of 4nl.(correspond to wet preparation)
Each of the 25 squares of the central grid (number 5) is subdivided into 16 smaller squares .

Thus, grids 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9 each have four rows holding 25 nl per row,
while grids 4, 5 and 6 each have five rows holding 20 nl per row.
Depending on the dilution and the number of spermatozoa counted, different areas of the chamber are used for determining sperm concentration.
For 1 + 19 (1:20) and 1 + 4 (1:5) dilutions, rows from grid number 5 are assessed and, when necessary, from grids numbers 4 and 6
For 1 + 1 (1:2) dilutions,all nine grids can be assessed if necessary to achieve a count of 200 spermatozoa

As the central grid (number 5) of the improved Neubauer chamber holds100 nl, there would be 2500 spermatozoa within it. Diluting the sample 1 + 4 (1:5) would reduce the background and the sperm number to about 500 per grid, which is sufficient for an acceptably low sampling error.If there are 10 spermatozoa per HPF of the wet preparation, there would be 2.5 per nl and 250 per central grid. Diluting the sample 1 + 1 (1:2) as suggested would reduce the background and the sperm number to about 125 per grid; this would give375 in the three grids numbered 4, 5 and 6—again, this is suffi cient for an acceptablylow sampling error.

COUNT only intact spermatozoa (having head andtail) . Do not count motile pinheads
Do not count immature germ (round) cells.
Do not assess overlapping spermatozoa and those lying with the head on edge; these cannot be analysed adequately. They should not be present in a good smear , but may occur when debris and a large amount of particulate material are present (such as in viscous sample.These samples should be washed and the slides prepared before staining.

COUNT :WHAT I DO
Assess the sperms concentration from slide And make a dilution of 1:20 sperm according
to the chart given below. Charge the Neubauer chamber Count the squares in the central grid usually
5 X –multiply by 106 per ml.

Asthenozoospermia
<40% spermatozoa with total motility(pro. And non- prog) or <32% spermatozoa with pro. movement
Teratozoospermia Fewer than 30% spermatozoa with normal morphology
Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia
Signifies disturbance of all three variables (combination of only two prefixes can be used)
Azoospermia No spermatozoa in the ejaculate
Aspermia No ejaculate

WHY REPORTING 100% GLOBOZOOSPERMIAIMPORTANT?
Even if we do icsi with globo. Sperm There is fertilization failure –why?

Sperm vitality, is estimated by assessing the membrane integrity of the cells,
If <10% progressively motile spermatozoa----do vitality assessment.The percentage of live spermatozoa is assessed by identifying those with an intact cell membrane, from dye exclusion or by hypotonic swelling.
The dye exclusion method damaged plasma membranes, such as those found in non-vital (dead) cells, allow entry of stains
The hypo-osmotic swelling test presumes that only cells with intact membranes (live cells) will swell in hypotonic solutions.

HOS TEST
This is useful when staining of spermatozoa must be avoided, e.g. when choosing spermatozoa for ICSI.
Spermatozoa with intact membranes swell within 5 minutes in hypo-osmotic medium as indicated by curling of the tailWhile dead sperms shows no change
all flagellar shapes are stabilized by 30 minutes
![Page 69: semen analysis-in fertility management](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5461b780af79595e398b65a6/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
30 minutes incubation for routine diagnostics; but 5 minutes incubation when spermatozoa are to be processed for therapeutic use.Preparing the reagents1. Swelling solution for diagnostic purposes: dissolve 0.735 g
of sodium citrate dihydrate and 1.351 g of D-fructose in 100 ml of purified water. Freeze 1-ml aliquots of this solution at –20 °C.
2. For therapeutic use: dilute the medium to be used 1 + 1 (1:2) with sterile, purified water.
8. Tally the number of unswollen (dead) and swollen (vital) cells with the aid of a laboratory counter.
9. Evaluate 200 spermatozoa in each replicate, in order to achieve an acceptably low sampling error

KRUGER’S CRITERIA FOR SPERM MORPHOLOGY
For this test, freshly ejaculated sperm are smeared on a slide and stained using a morphology staining product for human sperm. Sperm are judged as normal based on the following criteria:
Head must be oval in shape with smooth contours, 5-6 µm in length and 2.5 to 3.5 µm wide with the acrosome taking up 40-70% of the head.
Neck and mid-piece must have no abnormalities and a cytoplasmic droplet (a remnant from sperm production) if present must not be larger than half the size of the head.
Tail must not be coiled or bent and should not have a droplet at the end.

KRUGER’S CRITERIA
After 200 individual sperm are counted at a magnification of 1,000 times, the percent normal forms is calculated. The prognosis is based on the following scale:
>=15% normal:Normal range - Good prognosis
5-14% normal:Sub optimal range - Prognosis is fair to good, however, the lower the percent normal, the lower the chance of successful fertilization
0-4% normal:Poor prognosis - Will usually need IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
