The sixth edition of the WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination and Processing of Human Semen: ensuring quality and standardization in basic examination of human ejaculates

Lars Bjorndahl et al.

Summary: The principles of basic semen investigation are crucial for obtaining reliable and internationally comparable results. However, many studies and practices in reproductive medicine fail to adhere to these principles, leading to a lack of comparable data and accuracy. To address this issue, the sixth edition of the WHO manual introduces revised methods and a complementary formal standard from the International Standards Organization. The new edition also reintroduces the four-category distinction of sperm motility and emphasizes the importance of semen examination for assessing male reproductive functions and overall male health.
