Results: the patients age was understood to be between 20 to 57 years, with a median age of 32,8± 6,7. The 61,6% of patients were normozoospermics, 9,4 % were azoospermic and 0,7% as-permic, 28,3% had one or more altered parameters (4,3% showed alteration in volume, 5,1% altered in spermatic concentration, 6,5% alter in mobility, 0,7% altered in morphology and 0,7% change in vitality, the 11% was shown to have more than one alterations). It was observed that there was a significant amount of difference between normozoospermics samples and with change: in volume (p=0,02), in spermatic concentration, total number of sperm, total sperm motile (TEM), sperm motility, vitality and normal morphology with a valué of (p=0,00). Conclusions:The results of this study show that at an older age, there is an increase in the seminal alteration.The parameters of the volume, spermatic concentration, vitality, progressive motility and normal morphology, show a high percentage of abnormality, being the most affected parameter progressive motility.
