Objective:
This research is designed to explore the relationship between the results of routine prostatic fluid and sperm examination obtained from 106 married male young people.
Methods:
The subject of the present research included 106 married young men who underwent pre-martial checkups. Leukocyte count, pH value, and lecithin body in prostatic fluid were measured and compared with the data of sperm examination.
Results:
The results showed that when leukocyte count in prostatic fluid was over 10/HPF, the survival rate of sperms decreased significantly, liquefying time prolonged significantly (p < 0.001), sperms decreased in number from 54.42 million/mm3 to 38.93 million/mm3 with rise in pH value.
Conclusions:
Our research reveals a positive correlation between increased leukocytes in prostatic fluid and infertility.
