736 ejaculates from 384 patients in the andrological outpatient clinic in Giessen were classified in fertile, subfertile and infertile Groups. Regarding volume, pH-value and fructose content of the ejaculate no differences were found among the three groups. Important for the classification is sperm count/ml and the progressive motility. Additional Hormone analyses showed a negative correlation between sperm count and FSH-Values. Disturbances in spermiogenesis are often connected with high LH-Values.
