title: Male infertility and its treatment: a review of over 4700 patients treated for male related infertility.
abstract: Changes in semen parameters are presented for 4708 patients treated for infertility. The largest group comprised patients with oligoasthenozoospermia of various grades (57.7%). Improvement in the seminal state was noted in 70.3%. The percentage of achieved normospermia increased proportionally to the initial semen state. Pregnancy rate also increased proportionally to the initial seminal state. Among the patients' wives 20.4% conceived: 28.2% of these pregnancies had occurred after having achieved normospermia, while in 71.8% the seminal states were still below the accepted normal values.
