P –082 Effect of semen hyper viscosity (SHV) on blastocyst formation rate and implantation rate

AbstractStudy questionDoes semen hyper viscosity effects blastocyst formation rateSummary answerHyper viscosity of semen sample later results in poor blastocyst formation rate and lower implantation rate.What is known alreadyNormal range of semen hyper viscosity ranges between 12 –29%.Highly viscous semen samples impairs the physical and chemical characteristics of seminal fluid and due to which seminal oxidative damage increases which further increases the ROS and reduces the sperm motility there are some factors that can affect the seminal viscosity out of which one is M ale accessory gland infection, Hypo function of prostate seminal vesicles and varicoceles. SHV create hindrance in semen preparation.Study design, size, durationRetrospective study was conducted from June 2019 to Oct 2020 at IVF unit IKDRC hospital.Participants/materials, setting, methods142 patients were enrolled from June 2019 to Oct 2020 in IVF unit IKDRC hospital and divided into two groups. Group A (n  = 83) patients with hyper semen viscosity and Group B (n = 69) patients with normal semen viscosity, inclusion and exclusion criteria’s were same for both the groups, only patient with normozoospermia were taken. Semen analysis was done by using WHO manual 2010.Main results and the role of chanceIn group A with hyper semen viscosity fertilization rate was (49.2% vs. 70% p  = <0.001) vs in group B with normal semen viscosity which is significantly higher in group B, Blastocyst formation...
