Sperm peritoneal recovery in infertile couples with male factors

Several studies (1-3) dealing with the presence of spermatozoa in preovulatory peritoneal liquid have shown a low correlation with the situation prevailing in the uterine cervix. Although all previous studies have worked with normospermic populations, we aimed at answering whether alterations of seminal variables are associated with alterations in transportation along the feminine tract. Different sperm migrations (in concentration and motility) were found, depending on the number of seminal variables altered.
