Objective: This study aims to investigate whether alterations in sperm DNA fragmentation rates are more frequent when Krüger strict morphology is ≥4% (normal).
Methods: The retrospective study included 132 participants from March 2020 to November 2021. Participants were divided into two groups based on the inclusion criteria: normal and abnormal Krüger strict morphology, with a mean age of 40 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared two staining techniques, Diff-Quick and Spermac, to see how they affect the assessment of sperm morphology and influence infertility diagnoses.
- Results showed that while both methods clearly displayed sperm structures, Diff-Quick identified a higher percentage of normal spermatozoa compared to Spermac, which highlighted more midpiece abnormalities.
- The findings suggest that the choice of staining technique is crucial for accurate diagnoses of male infertility, indicating a need for further research on optimal methods.
