Abstract
Thirty-one couples in whom the only apparent abnormality was polyspermia in the male partner were studied in the light of a suggested new definition of polyspermia. The rate of infertility was 22.5% versus 17.6% in a control group of couples with no apparent abnormalities; the difference was not statistically significant. The spontaneous abortion rate was 25.5% versus 9.7% in te controls (P<0.05). Semen analysis of these men showed significantly low fructose levels and high percentages of necrospermia and agglutination compared to controls. Various hypotheses for the etiology of polyspermia are discussed.
