Determining the effect of seminal plasma supplementation on sperm motility in males with asthenozoospermia: a systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Male infertility, defined as the inability to impregnate a fertile female, arises from various factors, among which sperm motility plays a pivotal role in determining reproductive potential. Seminal plasma, a complex fluid comprising diverse proteins, serves to nourish and support sperm, thereby facilitating their function within the female reproductive tract for successful conception. Normozoospermia denotes normal sperm motility in males, whereas asthenozoospermia indicates reduced sperm motility. This review seeks to assess the feasibility of augmenting sperm motility in men with asthenozoospermia through supplementation with seminal plasma or specific seminal plasma proteins.
