How to reduce sperm deformity rate
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which combines sperm and egg in vitro, and then transfers the fertilized egg to the mother for pregnancy. However, the increase of sperm abnormality rate may have a negative impact on the success rate of IVF. In order to improve the success rate of IVF, it is very important to reduce the sperm abnormality rate. The following will discuss how to reduce the sperm deformity rate from many aspects.
Healthy lifestyle
Healthy lifestyle is essential to improve sperm quality. First, it is very important to stop smoking and limit alcohol intake. Smoking and excessive drinking can lead to abnormal sperm morphology, thus increasing the rate of sperm deformity. Secondly, a balanced diet is an important factor to ensure sperm quality. Taking in rich vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can help reduce sperm deformity rate. In addition, regular and moderate exercise and keeping healthy are also very helpful to improve sperm quality and reduce deformity rate.
While clarifying the healthy lifestyle, we also need to pay special attention to some bad habits, especially the frequent use of mobile phones and computers. Long time exposure to electromagnetic radiation will affect the morphology and function of sperm. Therefore, reducing the frequency and time of using electronic equipment is an important measure to reduce sperm deformity rate.
Sperm quality detection and screening
In the process of IVF operation, the detection and screening of sperm quality is very important. Sperm quality can be measured by semen analysis to obtain the number, vitality, morphology and concentration of sperm. The results of sperm quality test can be used to evaluate the suitability of IVF operation.
In some advanced hospitals, sperm with normal morphology can also be selected through ICSI (single sperm injection) technology. ICSI technology is to inject single sperm with normal morphology into the egg through micromanipulation to improve fertilization rate and embryo quality. The combination of sperm quality detection and ICSI technology can effectively reduce the sperm abnormality rate and improve the success rate of IVF.
Genetic counseling and screening
Some sperm abnormalities may be caused by genetic factors. Therefore, it is very important to carry out genetic counseling and screening before IVF. Doctors will assess the genetic risk of patients through medical history inquiry, family history investigation, gene testing and other means. If there is a risk of genetic disease, doctors may recommend genetic screening to exclude the possibility of some genetic diseases.
Genetic counseling and screening can help patients understand the risk of genetic diseases, and determine whether it is suitable for IVF according to individual conditions. This can reduce the sperm malformation rate and reduce the transmission of possible genetic diseases.
Cryopreservation of spermatozoa
In order to reduce the rate of sperm deformity, some hospitals have implemented sperm cryopreservation measures. Cryopreservation of spermatozoa can reduce the impact on the quality of spermatozoa during storage and improve the deformity rate. When performing IVF operation, frozen sperm with good quality can be selected for fertilization, so as to improve the success rate of IVF.
In conclusion, reducing the sperm abnormality rate is an important link to improve the success rate of IVF. The combination of healthy lifestyle, sperm quality testing and screening, genetic counseling and screening, sperm cryopreservation and other measures can effectively reduce the sperm deformity rate and improve the success rate of IVF.
