Abstract


Prevalence of overall infertility ranges from 3.9% - 16.5%. Male infertility accounts for 40 – 45% with around 7% men having suboptimal sperm parameters1. It may be due to low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology or a combination of these. This retrospective study was done to observe male factor infertility and compare it with different geographical regions in our country as well as throughout the world.

The present  study was conducted for two years starting from January 2017 to December 2019 on couples attending OPD of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi who presented with complaints of inability to achieve clinical pregnancy. Both the couples were investigated and samples of seminal fluid were collected from the husband and examined in Department of Pathology, RIMS, Ranchi.

A total of 244 study subjects were investigated for seminal fluid evaluation. Out of them 68 were found to have some or the other abnormalities.

Out of 68 cases, majority (37 cases i.e. 54.4%) were Oligospermic .
