[Update of the relationship between sperm morphology and sperm function]
Abstract
This article reviews the recent literature on sperm morphology and attempts to illuminate the important value of sperm morphology for evaluating man fertility, with a survey of the present status of sperm morphology analysis techniques and the relationship between sperm morphology and sperm function tests. Sperm morphology analysis, although its techniques need to be further improved, is proved of great value for its significant correlation with sperm function and as a predictor in assisted reproduction.
