Semen quality in the same man before and after spinal cord injury. Case report.
The fertility of spinal cord injured men is severely impaired due to ejaculatory dysfunction and poor semen quality. No previous reports comparing the semen quality in the same man before and after spinal cord injury have been found in the literature. We present a case of a tetraplegic man who 8 months after his spinal cord injury had a deteriorated semen quality compared to a normal semen quality analysed 16 months before the injury.
