Abstract
Male factor infertility contributes to nearly half of the failed conception and pregnancy attempts. The primary reason attributed in adult males is constant decline in semen quality and sperm count during the past 50 years due to various known and unknown causes [1]. Adult patients producing mature gametes (fertilization competent spermatozoa) have the option to cryopreserve semen for future ART treatments.
