A member asked:

Pcos and abnormal sperm count. is there a connection between the 2?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: Actually, up to 35% of couples have more than one problem, so it is important for couples, having difficulty conceiving, to evaluate both partners.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed

No: Pcos is a female problem. Abnormal sperm count is a guy thing. There would be no cause and effect relationship. Pregnancy chances would likely be lower with such a couple.
