The Influence of Sperm Morphology, Total Motile Sperm Count of Semen and the Number of Motile Sperm Inseminated in Sperm Samples on the Success of Intrauterine Insemination

The Influence of Sperm Morphology, Total Motile Sperm Count of Semen and the Number of Motile Sperm Inseminated in Sperm Samples on the Success of Intrauterine Insemination

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to analyze the prognostic value of sperm morphology , total motile sperm count (TMSC) and the number of motile sperm inseminated (NMSI) on the outcome of intrauterine insemination (IUI). MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross sectional study was carried out 445 women undergoing 820 IUI cycles. All of the patients underwent controlled ovarian hyper stimulation with...

Relationship of Total Motile Sperm Count and Percentage Motile Sperm to Successful Pregnancy Rates Following Intrauterine Insemination1

Purpose: This study sought (i) to investigate the relationship between Postwash total motile sperm count and Postwash percentage motile sperm in predicting successful intrauterine insemination and (ii) to determine the minimal Postwash total motile sperm count required to achieve pregnancy with intrauterine insemination. Methods: Five hundred four women, who underwent 1636 intrauterine insemina...

Does Relaxation Massage Increase Total Motile Sperm Count for Intrauterine Insemination?

Objective: To determine if head and shoulder relaxation massage given immediately before collecting a semen sample will result in an increased total motile sperm count or improved semen parameters for intrauterine insemination (IUI). Design: Prospective randomized study Setting: Academic fertility center Patients: Forty men undergoing clomiphene IUI therapy with their partners Interventions: Ma...

Efficacy of the motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) in predicting pregnancy after intrauterine insemination

BACKGROUND Although the motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) was developed merely as a selection criterion, its application as a method for classifying sperm morphology may represent an improvement in the evaluation of semen quality. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of normal sperm morphology using MSOME with regard to clinical pregnancy (CP) after in...

The effects of male age on sperm analysis by motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME)

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the influence of age on sperm quality, as analysed by motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME). METHODS Semen samples were collected from 975 men undergoing evaluation or treatment for infertility. Sperm cells were evaluated at 8400× magnification using an inverted microscope equipped with Nomarski (differential interference contrast) op...
