Type: article

Abstract: Infertility is a major health problem affecting about 15% of couples worldwide. Male etiology is found in almost one third of cases. This study identified the nature of the relationship between SDF, SCC and sperm parameters. The study involved 80 samples were analyzed using two methods; the TUNEL technique, which is used to test the quality of sperm DNA, and aniline blue coloration, which determines the level of chromatic condensation of spermatozoa. In addition, to specify the standard sperm parameters, the spermogram and the spermocytogram were analyzed. The main results revealed a strong correlation between SDF and motility and, similarly, between SCC, motility and teratozoospermia macrocephaly types but a less significant correlation between SCC, SDF and the other sperm parameters.
