from Section VI - Male-factor Infertility
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 November 2021
One of the contemporary challenges in treating infertility is to identify those couples that will likely fail to conceive naturally or after assisted reproduction and will require more extensive interventions to achieve conception. The conventional sperm parameters (sperm concentration, motility, and morphology) provide us with information on the functionality of the seminiferous tubules and the reproductive tract. However, a major drawback of the semen analysis is that conventional sperm parameters are crude indicators of male fertility potential and the reference ranges for these parameters were set based on a population of fertile couples who succeeded in achieving a natural conception [1]. Moreover, these same parameters are not useful in predicting reproductive outcomes with assisted reproductive technologies. As such, there is a real need to identify markers that can accurately assess male fertility potential and help predict reproductive outcomes with assisted reproductive technologies
