Leukocyte in semen linked to reduced sperm quality and fertility in men.
The study looked at how white blood cells in semen can affect the quality of sperm in infertile men. They found that a higher number of white blood cells in semen was linked to lower sperm motility, viability, and tail swelling, as well as more abnormal sperm shapes and antibodies against sperm. This suggests that white blood cells are often present in the semen of infertile men and can impact the quality of sperm.
