While on the basis of morphology as teratozoospermia (37) and normozoospermia (550). The frequency of polyzoospermia in our study was 1.65% and teratozoospermia 6.30%.Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of both qualitative and quantitative analysis of sperms i.e. count and morphology in order to accurately diagnose the causes of infertility.
