Concept and causes of low sperm motility
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which helps infertile couples achieve fertility by fertilizing sperm and eggs in vitro and implanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus. However, if men have the problem of low sperm motility, whether IVF can be used is still a subject that needs to be discussed.
Low sperm motility means that the motility of sperm in semen is affected, and it is unable to obtain enough motility to meet the requirements of natural pregnancy. Sperm motility is affected by many factors, including living habits, environmental pollution, genetic factors, etc. The common reasons are bad living habits, such as smoking and drinking, overwork, high temperature environment, etc.
Low sperm activity will lead to sperm unable to pass through the female reproductive tract smoothly and combine with eggs, thus affecting the success rate of pregnancy. Therefore, for couples with low sperm activity, the feasibility of IVF needs to consider a variety of factors.
Overcoming the challenge of low sperm motility through IVF
Although low sperm motility may have a negative impact on the success rate of IVF, these challenges can be overcome through some technical means.
First of all, sperm with high vitality can be screened by sperm separation technology. These spermatozoa will undergo special centrifugation and other processing processes to eliminate low vitality spermatozoa and improve fertilization ability. Then, the enhanced fertilization technology can make the sperm with low vitality combine with the egg successfully, thus increasing the success rate of IVF.
In addition, in the case of low activity of single sperm injected in vitro, the cell Langevinger centrifugation method or direct microscopy method can be used to select single sperm for injection to improve the success rate.
Practice case of IVF in a hospital
The assisted reproductive technology center of a hospital successfully helped a couple overcome the problem of low sperm vitality and realized the dream of IVF.
In this case, the man suffers from the problem of low sperm vitality, and has tried many times to improve sperm vitality, but the effect is not significant. After further communication and diagnosis with hospital experts, they decided to use IVF. Under the guidance of the hospital's sperm separation and fertilization technology, some sperm with high vitality were finally successfully collected from the man's body and fertilized with the woman's eggs in vitro. After being cultured, the fertilized egg successfully develops into a blastocyst and is implanted into the woman's uterus. A few weeks later, the woman became pregnant successfully and gave birth to a healthy baby.
conclusion
The IVF method can overcome the problem of low sperm vitality and help infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams. The possibility of successful fertilization can be improved by using sperm separation and enhanced fertilization technology. The practice case in a hospital proved the successful application of IVF in overcoming low sperm motility. However, the situation of each couple is different, so we should decide whether to use IVF based on the actual situation and the guidance of experts, taking into account a variety of factors.
In conclusion, couples with low sperm vitality can try to achieve fertility by using test tube baby. The experts in the hospital can use a series of technical means to improve the success rate of fertilization according to the specific situation. However, before deciding whether to adopt IVF, the couple should fully understand the relevant information and consult the doctor's advice, and make a decision based on multiple factors.
