The Relationship between WBC Concentration in Semen and Sperm Morphology and Quality in Male Infertility

Objective To investigate the relationship between WBC concentration in semen and sperm morphology and quality in male infertility. Methods The sperm morphology,quality and WBC concentration in semen from 220 semen samples were analyzed according to WHO laboratory manual for the examination of human semen. Results The sperm concentration,the percentage of motile spermatozoa and sperm with normal morphology in leukocytospermic group were both significantly lower than those in nonleukocytospermi-c group(P 0.05) . The sperm liquefaction time in leukocytospermic group was significantly longer than that in leukocytospermic group(P 0.05) . Leukocyte in semen and the percentage of morphologically normal sperm presented the negative correlativity(P 0.05) . Conclusion Excessively high WBC concentration in semen can affect sperm morphology and quality in male infertility.
