“…Interestingly, we found a significant trend decrease of motility (A+B) (28.0% vs. 21.0%; p<0.01) and pH (8.1 vs. 7.9; p<0.01) In patients affected by asthenospermia, motility (A+B) dropped significantly from day 1 to day 7 (11.8% vs. 6.1%; p<0.01) and also in patients with teratospermia morphology dropped significantly (2.13% vs. 1.26%; p<0.01).ConclusionThe findings support the use of tailored abstinence guidelines to optimize semen quality based on patient-specific semen profiles, with normospermic men benefiting from longer abstinence durations to increase concentrations, while patients with motility or morphology impairments, may benefit from shorter abstinence periods to mitigate sperm quality declines.…”
