The WHO “Laboratory manual for the Examination and processing of human semen” is a reference guide, firstly published in 1980, to standardize the procedures for the examination of human semen. It has been updated three times; the last version was published in 2010(1) It provided guidance about many aspect of semen examination like: semen collection, macroscopic and microscopic examinations, immunological properties, microbiological properties and biochemical properties of seminal plasma. Semen examination is the first laboratory test to study the physio-patological testicular function in adults and it may also be useful for investigating male fertility status as well as monitoring spermatogenesis during and following male fertility regulation.
