Abstract

Background:-. Asthenozoospermia is one of the main causes of infertility or diminished fertility in men , Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a complex bioactive agent , which is fully represented in the female reproductive tract. The  oocyte of human being is enclosed by (HA), which acts as a physical   selector of spermatozoa. Human sperm cells that Assay   (HBA Score%)  is an important diagnostic tool for suspicious male infertility in the analysis of semen. In a matter of minutes , provides the  mature binding spermatozoa in the sample .Direct swim-up technique is the oldest and most frequently used  activation technique. To assess the sperm parameters and the percentage of binding spermatozoa to HA  pre- and post-in vitro sperm activation for asthenozoospermic men. Twenty –two asthenozoospermia men  were   collaborate in this study. Assessmet of sperm parameters and HBA Score% pre-  and post - direct swim up technique  and the results were statistically analyzed. Significant increment (P-value<0.05)   was noticed within progressive motility, morphology of spermatozoa and a significant improvement in (HBA- Score) post - activation.
