Title

THE IMPACT OF SPERM MORPHOLOGY ON HUMAN REPRODUCTION

Objective

The objective of the present study is to analyse the influence of genetic mapping nowadays.

Methods

It is a narrative review of 9 articles published in English and Portuguese on (PubMed, Scielo, LILACS) platforms between 1999 and 2023.

Results

Sperm morphology is considered extremely important in cases where there is reproductive difficulty as it is directly related to male fertility. It is one of the evaluations carried out in a spermogram test, which measures several semen parameters to assess a man's ability to generate a pregnancy. Morphological analysis has the objective to analyze the shape and structure of sperm where sperm with a morphology normally have a higher probability of successfully fertilizing the egg. On the other hand, morphological abnormalities can indicate problems in sperm function and affect fertilization capacity
A high percentage of morphologically normal sperm is considered a positive indicator of male fertility. If most of the sperm show abnormalities, this could indicate a reduced ability to fertilize and increase difficulties in conceiving.
Sperm morphology is just one of many factors evaluated in the spermogram, along with sperm count, motility, and other parameters. All of these aspects are important to get a complete picture of male reproductive health. In addition, analysis of sperm morphology can also help identify possible causes of infertility, such as genetic problems, infections, injuries or exposure to toxins. This information can guide doctors in choosing the most appropriate treatment to help a couple conceive.
Playing a crucial role in assessing male fertility. The analysis of the shape and structure of the sperm provides important information about its fertilizing capacity. Detection of morphological abnormalities can indicate problems with sperm function and affect the ability to conceive. Furthermore, sperm morphology is just one of many parameters evaluated in the spermogram, along with sperm count, motility and other factors, which together provide a complete picture of male reproductive health.

Conclusion

In summary, sperm morphology is important because it provides crucial information about sperm quality and function, helping to assess male fertility and identify possible causes of infertility.
Looking to the future, it is expected that technological advances will drive the improvement of sperm morphology. Automation, computational analysis and three-dimensional approaches are being developed to accelerate and improve sperm morphological analysis. Additionally, research is exploring specific molecular markers and the use of artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnoses. Integrating morphological assessment with functional testing offers a more comprehensive perspective of sperm quality.
