FINDINGS: The mean age of patients was 31.8 years. Sperm motility before sperm processing in grade III and IV was 53.9% and 12.9%, respectively but after sperm processing in grade III and IV changed to 78.7% and 56.8%, respectively. Total motility before sperm processing was 40 % and changed after processing to 80%.
CONCLUSION: The results show that with sperm processing and collection of appropriate sperms, we are able to increase fertility. |
