摘要
Amongst the reasons for male infertility the factor 'stress' is frequently cited, however, without providing more detailed explanations. In the article 'Decline of semen quality during IVF is not associated with subjective male stress' published on Asian Journal ofAndrology, Nouri et al1 describe a decline in progressive sperm motility in a retrospective cohort of 155 male in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients during a time period of 4-6 weeks prior to the first IVF cycle and the time of oocyte retrieval. In a subsequent prospective cohort study on men undergoing their first IVF semen quality and subjective male chronic stress were investigated at the same time intervals.
