An andrological study of 51 fertile men

Abstract

Andrological examination were performed on 51 healthy volunteers whose wives were pregnant. The men underwent the same clinical examinations as men in infertile couples. The results of these examinations indicate: a) a broad range of semen qualities exist in the normal fertile population several of which by previously defined standards could by considered pathological, b) that current ideas of those factors which are believed to be responsible for diminished semen quality in infertile men should by critically reexamined, nd c) greater investigations of normal fertile groups to delineate more clearly the differences between fertile and infertile men.
