ULTRASTRUCTURAL PATHOMORPHOLOGY IN ASTHENOZOOSPERMIC PATIENTS
One of the most acute social and medical problems is infertility currently affecting 10-15% married couples. It has been noted that male factor infertility is becoming common. The most frequent pathology detected in the ejaculate using routine methods is asthenozoospermia, i.e. reduced sperm motility. Asthenozoospermia can be caused by the filament ultrastructural morphology changes detectable by electron microscopy only. The given research was aimed at studying the most typical pathological changes in sperm which are likely to affect its motility, which includes an ultrastructural study of infertility. The goals of the research included the revealing of intracellular changes by comparing data obtained by light microscopy and electron microscopy.
