Seminal pH reflects the combined secretory function of the prostate and seminal vesicles. Optimal pH is essential for sperm motility, survival, and fertilization capacity.
Acidic seminal pH may indicate seminal vesicle obstruction or androgen deficiency, while alkaline pH is often associated with infection or inflammation. Deviations from the normal pH range can significantly impair sperm function even when erotic sperm concentration is adequate.
Assessment of seminal pH provides valuable diagnostic information and should not be overlooked in routine andrological evaluation.
