[Management of necrospermia].
Necrospermia is still a poorly documented cause of male infertility. Among infertile subjects, the incidence reported in the literature is 0.2 to 0.48 per cent. We undertook a retrospective study to contribute to the comprehension of this abnormality. Histories, physical examination, analysis of the semen and hormonal dosages performed in necrozoospermic subjects were reviewed. We observed that in patients with necrospermia in at least three semen samples, infections represent 40 per cent of aetiologies. In 20% of the whole population, no aetiology was observed, but abnormalities of the epididymis function was suggested. Through this study, we suggest an aetiological classification and practical guidance in case of necrozoospermia.
