Seminal Cytology in the Presence of Varicocele
TL;DR: Motility is a more important factor in conception than sperm count, and more than 50% of excessively subnormal motility indexes improved to a level approaching or surpassing normal, making motility the single most significant aspect of the effects of ligation on semen quality.
