ABSTRACT
Two hundred subfertile couples of varied duration of infertility were studied to establish correlation between the postcoital test [PCT] and semen analysis. 5 grades system was adopted for both investigations. There was a good correlation between good PCT and favourable results of semen analysis which comprised of 54% couples investigated. A poor PCT [lower grades] did not mean low value semen. Even absence of sperms did not mean azoospermia, but involved various factors. It is suggested that postcoital test can be recommended a preliminary test for seminal fluid evaluations instead of semen analysis. A high graded PCT obviates the need of semen analysis as the first line of investigation, which should be done only in cases of low graded postcoital tests
