Prevalence of Normozoospermic, Oligozoospermic, Asthenozoospermic, Oligoasthenoteratozoospermic and Azoospermia Disorder in 394 Semen Samples

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence normozoospermia compared to other abnormal sperm parameters included oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, oligoasthenoteratozoospermia for patients who attended a fertility center in al Najaf city in Iraq. Methods: The study was conducted in the laboratories of the Fertility Center of Al-Sadr Teaching Hospital in Al-Najaf Governorate - Iraq. The age of the patients ranged from 20 to 44 and the marriage period ranged from 1 to 8 years. The results of the semen analysis of the samples were recorded and a categories of male infertility factor were determined based on the World Health Organization’s guideline. normozoospermia had sperm concentration > 15 million, progressive motility > 32 %, normal morphology > 14 %. oligozoospermia had sperm concentration < 15 million. asthenozoospermia had progressive motility < 32 %. oligoasthenoteratozoospermia had sperm concentration< 15 million, progressive motility < 32 %, normal morphology < 14 %. Azoospermia had sperm concentration zero /ml. Results: The results showed that normozoospermia had higher prevalence (27.92) compared to other groups in study, oligozoospermia had (4.31), asthenozoospermia had (27.66), Oligoastheno had 25.63, Oligoasthenoterato had (6.09) and azoo had (8.38). Conclusion: from our finding we concluded that Normozoospermia has higher prevalence than other abnormal sperm parameters. Recommendation: study of prevalence of abnormal sperm parameters in the months of the years.
