Hypofertility in males due to a secretion anomaly of the seminal vesicles and its treatment.
Between 1981 and 1986, 5,000 males with infertility were treated. Eight (0.16%) of them had hypospermia, a decrease in seminal fructose, asthenospermia without oligospermia considered as a secretion anomaly of the seminal vesicles. Artificial Insemination with the Husband's sperm (AIH) combined with vesiculo-prostatic plasma from a vasectomized donor was performed successfully in 3 couples. In this series, failures were associated with an important fertility factor in the female. AIH combined with vesiculo-prostatic plasma from a vasectomized donor is considered as an effective treatment of male hypofertility caused by vesicular dysfunction.
