The combination matters--distinct impact of lifestyle factors on sperm quality: a study on semen analysis of 1683 patients according to MSOME criteria.

TLDR
Combinations of adverse lifestyle factors could have a detrimental impact on sperm, not only in terms of motility and sperm count but also in Terms of sperm head vacuolization.
Abstract
Background Poor sperm quality can negatively affect embryonic development and IVF outcome. This study is aimed at investigating the influence of various lifestyle factors on semen quality according to MSOME (motile sperm organelle morphology examination) criteria.

Consistent age-dependent declines in human semen quality: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: It is suggested that greater focus on collection of DNA fragmentation and progressive motility in a clinical setting may lead to better patient outcomes during fertility treatments of aging couples, even though sperm concentration did not decline with increasing male age.

Semen quality and alcohol intake: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Results showed that alcohol intake has a detrimental effect on semen volume and normal morphology, and studies evaluating the effect of changes on semen parameters on the reproductive outcomes are needed in advance of providing recommendations regarding alcohol intake other than the advice to avoid heavy alcohol drinking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coffee and caffeine intake and male infertility: a systematic review.

TL;DR: The literature suggests that caffeine intake, possibly through sperm DNA damage, may negatively affect male reproductive function, and well-designed studies are essential to reach a consistent evidence on the effect of caffeine on semen parameters and male fertility.

Lifestyles Associated With Human Semen Quality: Results From MARHCS Cohort Study in Chongqing, China.

TL;DR: Smoking, coffee/cola/fried foods consumption, and the effects of environmental/sociopsychobehavioral factors act on semen quality are found to be significantly associated with semen quality from the baseline investigation.

Impact of intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection on assisted reproduction outcome: a review

TL;DR: The aim of the present work is to evaluate the efficacy of the IMSI technique in the light of the current literature, focusing attention on the potential clinical application of the selection of strictly morphologically normal spermatozoa in patients undergoing conventional intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatments.

Sperm DNA damage: importance in the era of assisted reproduction.

TL;DR: There now exists clinical evidence to show that sperm DNA damage is detrimental to reproductive outcomes and tests for DNA damage may provide better prognostic information and may allow for better decision-making than standard semen parameters when evaluating the infertile couple.

Advantages of strict (Tygerberg) criteria for evaluation of-sperm morphology

TL;DR: It can be concluded that sperm morphology evaluated according to strict criteria has definitive advantages over the other (liberal) criteria evaluation methods in the prediction of expected in-vivo and especially in-Vitro fertilization rates.

Pentoxifylline and antioxidants improve sperm quality in male patients with varicocele

TL;DR: After 4 weeks of treatment, the proportion of morphologically normal sperm cells was significantly increased and these changes persisted until at least 4 weeks after the end of treatment.

Can cassava increase sperm count?

The negative impact of age, BMI and coffee intake on sperm quality could be compensated if patients had a high ejaculation frequency and shorter periods of sexual abstinence. Combinations of adverse lifestyle factors could have a detrimental impact on sperm, not only in terms of motility and sperm count but also in terms of sperm head vacuolization.
