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.

Selection of normal spermatozoa with a vacuole‐free head (x6300) improves selection of spermatozoa with intact DNA in patients with high sperm DNA fragmentation rates

TL;DR: For patients with high sperm DNA fragmentation rates, selection of normal spermatozoa with a vacuole‐free head (6300×) yields the greatest likelihood of obtaining spermatozoon with non‐fragmented DNA.

Life styles of men in barren couples and their relationship to sperm quality.

TL;DR: The life style of the subject has little if any impact on semen quality, at least within the limits recorded in the present study, and the reported average ejaculation frequency was significantly positively correlated to the motility of the sperm.

Micronutrients intake is associated with improved sperm DNA quality in older men

TL;DR: Men with higher dietary and supplement intake of certain micronutrients may produce sperm with less DNA damage, especially among older men, which raises the broader question of how lifestyle factors, including higher intakes of antioxidants and micronsutrients, might protect somatic as well as germ cells against age-associated genomic damage.

ART success and in vivo sperm cell selection depend on the ultramorphological status of spermatozoa.

TL;DR: The natural fertility index, based on routine sperm parameters and the ultrastructural status of the spermatozoon's subcellular organelles was confirmed to be beneficial for directing patients to ART and a discriminative score based on axonema integrity was found to contribute additional information for the first choice decision between conventional ART and ICSI.

The effects of male age on sperm analysis by motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME)

TL;DR: Considering the relationship between nuclear vacuoles and DNA damage, these age-related changes predict that increased paternal age should be associated with unsuccessful or abnormal pregnancy as a consequence of fertilisation with damaged spermatozoa.

Can sperm make Period worse?

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.
