During the years 2011-2013 were analyzed semen samples from 97 patients whose ages were: 20-29 years old (G1, n = 11), 30-39 years old (G2, n = 61), 40-49 years old (G3, n = 22). We didn´t do a statistical analysis in the group of men older than 50 years old (n = 3). The following parameters were evaluated: volume (V), progressive motility (Mp), concentration (C) and morphology (Mf) according to Kruger strict criteria. We obtained the following means for each group (G): G1: V=4.7 ml; Mp=46.4%; C= 88.9 mill/ml; Mf=10.2%; G2: V=3.7 ml; Mp=47.7%; C=168.3 mill/ml; Mf=15.4%; G3: V=3.2 ml, Mp=41.3%, C=232.1 mill/ml; Mf=11.9%.
