Seasonal Variations in Human Semen Parameters: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
This meta-analysis showed seasonal variations in semen parameters, with generally better semen quality in winter and spring compared with summer and fall. Specifically, these seasons were associated with higher sperm concentration, greater total sperm count, and reduced slow motility compared with summer and fall.
