Recently, the World Health Organization recommendation for abstinence time for semen analysis has been challenged in some studies and many of them have supported the advantages of a second short abstinence ejaculation. More evidence is needed to approve this for clinical use. This study aimed to compare the average routine abstinence time (2-7 days) with the short time (1-2 h) on sperm quality based on functional parameters in a population of oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (OAT) men.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters and selected biochemical markers of canine semen sampled at 24-h intervals over a period of 5 days, preceded by 6 months of sexual abstinence. Full ejaculates were obtained from 6 dogs. Ejaculate volume and total sperm counts in the ejaculate decreased gradually on successive sampling days.

Background: Ejaculatory abstinence (EA) duration influences semen parameters. However, the impact of penultimate ejaculatory abstinence (PEA) on conventional and functional sperm parameters remains underexplored.
Method: A cross-sectional study recruited 1,503 men from a reproductive center between November 2023 and July 2024.

This study investigates the impacts of zinc ion concentration in in seminal plasma and the total amount of Zn per ejaculation on sperm quality evaluation parameters. In addition, we assessed the reliability of using zinc content in seminal plasma to evaluate sperm quality. We analyzed semen from 964 men and found that men over 40 years old had significantly lower concentrations of Zn in ejaculated semen compared to other age groups (p < 0.

Purpose: Optimal sperm DNA integrity is essential for fertilization and embryo health. Research indicates that testicular sperm (TS), obtained via TESA or TESE, typically show lower sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) than ejaculated sperm after standard abstinence. Shortening abstinence to less than 2 days might reduce SDF, offering a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative to surgical sperm retrieval.
