Sperm selection techniques
Optimising sperm to achieve pregnancy.
What are sperm selection techniques?
These are techniques that allow us to optimise sperm samples, helping with fertilisation, even in the most severe cases, because the truth is, nowadays the quality of semen is worsening and more than 40% of infertility cases are due to the male factor.
Depending on the result of the sperm analysis, we carry out specific techniques such as Swim-up and Fertile-Chip (to select the most capable spermatozoa) or MACS (to eliminate dead or dying spermatozoa).
When is it used?
Men with sperm problems
Samples with poor sperm motility or concentration.
Necrozoospermia
When a high percentage of sperm in a semen sample are dead.
Males aged 47 and over
As they may have a high percentage of sperm DNA double-stranded fragmentation.
Patients with repeated miscarriages
Also for those with a history of failed treatments, or embryonic blockage from day 3 onwards.
Benefits of using sperm selection techniques
Improvement of embryo quality
Increased implantation rate
Reduced risk of genetic abnormalities
Lower risk of miscarriage
When is it used?
