This research is designed to explore the relationship between the results of routine prostatic fluid and sperm examination obtained from 106 married male young people. The subject of the present research included 106 married young men who underwent pre-martial checkups. Leukocyte count, pH value, and lecithin body in prostatic fluid were measured and compared with the data of sperm examination. The results showed that when leukocyte count in prostatic fluid was over 10/HPF, the survival rate of sperms decreased significantly, liquefying time prolonged significantly (p < 0.001), sperms decreased in number from 54.42 million/mm3 to 38.93 million/mm3 with rise in pH value. Our research reveals a positive correlation between increased leukocytes in prostatic fluid and infertility.
