    TLDR Seminal bacteria can lower sperm quality in subfertile men.
    The study investigates the impact of microbial infection on sperm parameters in asymptomatic subfertile males. It was found that the presence of seminal bacteria significantly affects sperm quality, including motility and morphology. The research involved a sample size of 150 subfertile males, revealing that specific bacterial infections correlate with decreased sperm parameters. These findings suggest that addressing microbial infections could be crucial in managing subfertility in men.
