Hi, I am Dr Sweta Gupta Clinical Director at Medicover fertility. Today I am going to discuss Sperm Motility.
What is it, What causes low sperm motility and how low sperm motility affects pregnancy? There are three main parameters that are looked at in a semen sample to determine the fertility status of a man.
They are count morphology and sperm motility.
What is Sperm Motility Sperm motility is the ability of the sperm to move For conception to occur.
The sperms need to swim forward towards the egg and fertilise it before it disintegrates.
According to WHO s latest criteria.
At least 40 of the sperms should be moving in a given semen sample.
This is called the total motile sperm count And, among them, 32 should have a rapid forward movement.
This is called progressive motility.
What is low sperm, motility Low sperm motility is technically known as asthenospermia or asthenozoospermia, and is diagnosed when the sperms that can move efficiently are less than 32. It means that the sperms find it difficult to move towards the egg due to its limited motility.
What affects sperm motility, The most important factor affecting the quality of sperm is stress and some health conditions Also excess heat around the genitals increases scrotal temperature that can affect the motility of sperm.
It is also advised to avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking.
How low sperm motility affects pregnancy? If a man has low sperm motility, then he might be diagnosed with male factor infertility Because after ovulation, an egg stays in the fallopian tube for 12 24 hours waiting for the sperm to fertilise it.
If the sperms have low motility, then they would not be able to swim up the uterus to reach the fallopian tubes in time to fertilise the egg, thereby affecting pregnancy.
What are the treatment options for low sperm motility If a couple is facing an issue in conceiving due to low sperm motility and have tried fertility drugs like clomiphene, to increase motility? But without any luck then best is resorting to Assisted Reproductive Technology ART to conceive successfully The available options are IUI.
Intrauterine insemination is recommended when the sperm motility range is between 30 40.
This procedure saves the sperm from taking the long journey from the cervix to the fallopian tube, thus making it easier to reach the egg IVF In vitro fertilisation is recommended when the sperm motility is lower than 30 ICSI Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is recommended in men with severe Motility issues: How can Medicover Fertility help males with low sperm motility Medicover fertility clinics are among the top fertility clinics in Europe.

Fox Stopping For A Picture
Eat to Live
When Mehmet O or any of New York’s leading doctors have a patient whose life depends on losing weight, they call on Joel Fuhrman, M.D. In EAT TO LIVE, Dr. Fuhrman offers his healthy, effective, and scientifically proven plan for shedding radical amounts of weight quickly, and keeping it off.Losing weight under Dr. Fuhrman’s plan is not about will power, it is about knowledge. The key to this revolutionary diet is the idea of nutrient density, as expressed by the simple formula, Health = Nutrients/Calories. When the ratio of nutrients to calories is high, fat melts away and health is restored. Losing 20 pounds in two to three weeks is just the beginning. The more high-nutrient food Dr. Fuhrman’s patients consume, the more they are satisfied with fewer calories, and the less they crave fat and high-calorie foods. Designed for people who must lose 50 pounds or more in a hurry, EAT TO LIVE works for every dieter, even those who want to lose as little as 10 pounds quickly. No willpower required-just knowledge!
I Can’t Decide If This is Wonderful or Horrible. But Women are Being Paid $8000 To Do It.
Dr. Nayna Patel in India is determined to help infertile women by providing a one-stop-shop for surrogacy. She plans on building a hospital dedicated to surrogate mothers – a baby factory as some may call it.
Many people don’t know whether to consider this baby factory a wonderful chance to give families a chance to have children…or just an unethical way to sell babies.
Dr. Patel wants to build a huge hospital dedicated to housing surrogate mothers for couples who cannot conceive.
She would pay each surrogate approximately $8,000 to carry a child for any couple who are willing to pay.
Potential parents will send their sperm and embryos to the hospital before flying in to pick up their child.
The clinic will have self-catering apartments for visiting Western couples, a floor for surrogate mothers, offices, delivery rooms, an IVF department and even restaurants and a gift shop.
Dr. Patel claims she isn’t selling children or creating a baby-making factory for profit. She simply wants to streamline the surrogacy process.
Surrogates have been benefiting from providing the service. They work hard and give the gift of life to parents.
One surrogate was able to send her own child to a better school.
Another built a new house for her family.
Infertile women like Barbara, seen below, now have a way to enjoy motherhood.
This is a sketch of the building the Doctor wants to build.
In fact, construction has already begun.

The Hormone Diet
Many of us experience signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance every day. Do you have trouble dragging yourself out of bed in the morning? Ever have an uncontrollable sugar craving at 3 p.m.? Chronic headaches? Lack of energy? Do you get stressed just sitting in your office? Our bodies are wired to send us signals when something isn’t right, but often we’re too busy to hear them. Compounding the problem is a lack of understanding about the consequences if these symptoms are left unaddressed. Without hormonal balances, we are more likely to succumb to many diseases and illnesses. The Hormone Diet lays out a foolproof plan to balance your life, one hormone at a time. But it is more than just a diet book. Along with advice for weight loss, Dr. Natasha Turner provided recommendations for anti-inflammatory detox, nutritional supplements, exercise, sleep, stress management, toxin-free skin care, and natural hormone replacement combined with a diet plan—all incorporated into a 3-step wellness program focused on the essentials of hormone balance for lasting health.
