Change of Accessory Genital Glands Markers in the Patients with Oligoasthenospermia

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of the accessory gential gland on the male fertility.MethodsThe relevant seminal parameters of 32 normal donors and 35 patients with olioasthenospermia were measured by seminal routine analysis, sperm morphology and accessory gentital glands markers.ResultsThe percentage of normal spermatozoa, the function of sperm penetration through cervical mucus and the enzyme activity of neutral α-1,4-glucosidase significantly declined as compared with the control. There was a significant negative relationship between the semen volume and the sperm motility for the oligoasthenospermia (r=-0.415, P<0.05), and a significant positive relationship between the sperm count and the percentage of normal sperm (r=0.393, P<0.05).ConclusionThe abnormal function of epididymis exists in patients with oligoasthenospermia. Sperm function for the oligoasthenospermia declines with an increase of the percentage of the abnormal sperm. The poorer the spermatogenises function of the testis is, the higher the percentage of the abnormal sperm appears.
