Comparison of photographic (multiple-exposure photography) and conventional evaluation of ejaculates for fertility prognosis.
Semen obtained from 191 men visiting our infertility clinic was studied by MEP and conventional methods. With MEP, sperm count, percentage of motility, sperm velocity, straight line approach, and speed constancy were determined. Two years afterward 49 of the men appeared to have fertilized their partners. Between the fertile and infertile men, no differences in motility values determined by MEP could be detected. The only differences observed existed in sperm count and duration of infertility.
