Teratospermia

Teratospermia is a condition of male infertility caused by an abnormality in the structure of the male sperm. The abnormality, referred to as a morphology, may lie in the shape of the sperm head or with the motility of the tail. Regardless, the abnormality prevents the fertilization of the egg and is a common diagnosis of male infertility.

Genetic abnormalities are the most common causes of teratospermia and in vitro fertilization (IVF) is the primary tool used for overcoming infertility.
