Abstract

ObjectiveTo evaluate the relation between sperm count and ejaculatory volume.MethodsSemen samples from 1 364 men were collected and ejaculate volume and sperm count were performed.ResultsA low correlation (11.6%) was found but statistically significant (P<0.000 1) and a trend was observed to decrease in the linear regression analysis. In addition, the ejaculate volume was lower in the group with higher sperm count.ConclusionSperm cells are diluted in the ejaculate volume, for this reason the ejaculates with more volume present less sperm count.
