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 now in India.
With state of the art technology and technical expertise of doctors, we have been successfully
treating men with fertility issues.
We have many low sperm motility success stories to share as we have treated many cases of

Kanye West's Father Has Prostate Cancer and 'Is Already Receiving Treatment:' Sources - News Today - Duration: 4:49.
Kanye West's father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, sources confirm to PEOPLE
"Kanye's dad was diagnosed with cancer and is already receiving treatment," a Keeping Up with the Kardashians source tells PEOPLE
"He seems to be responding well to the treatment and everyone is hopeful he will be okay
" "Kanye doesn't really talk about it. You can tell it's something that's very difficult for him," the source continues, adding that it's been helpful for the 41-year-old to lean on his wife Kim Kardashian West and their three children for support
"When his mom suddenly passed away, Kanye was all alone. Having Kim and the kids around him helps in difficult situations," the insider says
A source close to West tells PEOPLE, "Kim is helping to support Kanye during this tough time — they are always there for each other
" TMZ was first to report the prostate cancer news. West's mother Donda died in 2007 at the age of 58, following cosmetic surgery complications
In January 2008, the Los Angeles coroner determined that Donda died of heart disease while suffering from "multiple post-operative factors" after plastic surgery
However, the autopsy failed to determine the exact role the post-op factors played in her death following liposuction and breast-reduction surgery
According to the autopsy report, Donda walked out of the clinic after 5½ hours of surgery, heavily bandaged, and was prescribed Vicodin for pain
She opted to receive post-op care at her home, though she was advised to be looked after at another facility, the report said
Shortly after the procedure, she experienced a sore throat, pain and tightening in her chest before collapsing
She was pronounced dead in the hospital's emergency room, officials said. Prior to the release of his latest album, Kanye shared that he wanted to use a photograph of the plastic surgeon as his album cover, and that he wanted to "forgive and stop hating
" The rapper ended up using a photograph he took on the way to a Wyoming listening party for the album's artwork
Kanye was raised by his mother in the Chicago neighborhood of South Shore, after she divorced his father Ray, a former Black Panther, when Kanye was 3
West previously spoke about his relationship with his father on "Champion," which appears on his second album Graduation
"I ain't saying we was from the projects / But every time I wanna layaway or deposit / My dad'd say 'When you see clothes, close your eyelids
' / We was sort of like Will Smith and his son / In the movie — I ain't talking 'bout the rich ones," he rapped
West went on to add in the song that while he didn't know "what he did for dough," every summer his father would "send me back to school with a new wardrobe
" Prior to the release of his 2016 album The Life of Pablo, West revealed that he "cried" while writing the track "Father Stretch My Hands Pt
1." "I cried writing this," he wrote in a since-deleted Tweet, according to Complex
"I love my dad."

Insect Bioassay (Live insects) Tests for Pest Treatment Effectiveness - Duration: 0:58.
When testing the effectiveness of a pest treatment
insect bioassays containing live test insects can be used to indicate if lethal conditions were reached.
Each bioassay contains a small quantity of food, assuring that the insects remain alive and healthy prior to the treatment.
The test vials and food are attached to durable cards that identify the
species and stage of the insects as well as the start date of the treatment.
Colonies of insects are reared in the lab and counted out into each bioassay.
They can be customized to include any developmental stage (Egg, larva, pupa, adult) of insect.
At the conclusion of the treatment, the insects are inspected for survival.
Insect bioassays are a sure way to verify if a pest treatment was successful in removing unwanted pests.

Approaching Autism: Getting Involved in Your Child's Treatment - Duration: 0:50.
Parents play such an important role in effective ABA treatment because they're a child's first
caregiver, the first teacher.
A child with autism has needs in a variety of areas, so we need to prioritize those.
We need to understand what's most important for the family that we work on first.
What are their goals for their child?
We're not expecting a parent to serve the role of therapist - that's what we've been
trained to do.
However, we want parents to be able to have the same positive approaches that we have
because we know parenting is very hard. It's exhausting.
It's the hardest job out there, so we want to support parents in that process.
If you're a parent of a child with autism, we know it can be overwhelming.
Reach out to us. We're here to help!

Couple lose newborn daughter to state after refusing medical treatment - Duration: 11:01.
A Christian couple who let their baby die of jaundice last year because they believe 'God makes no mistakes' has had their newborn girl taken from them by the state
Joshua, 37, and Rachel Piland, 31, were charged with involuntary manslaughter in September after they refused to seek medical treatment for their daughter Abigail, who died in February 2017
But once again the Lansing, Michigan couple has refused to take their child to the hospital - and now the state is hoping to terminate their parental rights
State officials decided to take immediate action, seizing Verity from her parents just hours after she was born
Verity was rushed to a local hospital and received lifesaving blood transfusions, according to the Lansing State Journal
A complaint was filed with Child Protective Services the same day Verity was born, July 17, and officials cited 'anticipatory neglect' for seizing the child
'There are current concerns for the safety and well-being of the newborn baby as the previous concerns which brought this family to the court's attention have yet to be rectified,' a CPS investigator wrote in a petition to the court
Verity was taken to a hospital within hours of her birth, where doctors found she was 'significantly jaundiced' and had high levels of bilirubin in her system
While unconjugated bilirubin is not an issue for most newborns, high levels can cause lifelong neurological problems or even death if left untreated
Doctors also suspected that Verity might have Rh disease, a condition that is caused by incompatibility in the blood between a mother and her fetus
If the mother is Rh-negative but her baby is Rh-positive, her body will try to fight off the foreign red blood cells by producing antibodies
These Rh antibodies can cross the placenta and reach the fetus, destroying the newborn's blood cells and potentially resulting in jaundice
Rh disease can be treated in the fetus and 95 percent of babies who are born with severe Rh disease survive
But a blood transfusion did not help Verity, so the newborn had to undergo an exchange transfusion - meaning her entire blood supply was replaced
Aaron Kerr, Rachel Piland's brother, said the infant has been hospitalized for the last two weeks but is recovering
'She's still being evaluated and checked. We're hopeful that there are no long-term complications, but I don't think we can say 100 percent yet whether that's the case,' he said
Abigail Piland was also jaundiced and had high levels of bilirubin at the time of her death
Rachel gave birth to Abigail, via midwife, at her home on February 6.At the time of her birth, Abigail appeared healthy and there were no concerns surrounding her well-being
But when the midwife, who had helped deliver Rachel and Joshua's two older children, returned to the home the next day, she told Rachel that Abigail appeared jaundiced and encouraged her to take the baby to the doctor
'She told Rachel the baby could suffer brain damage or die if not properly cared for,' Lansing Police Detective Peter Scaccia said
RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Deputies release sketch of 'two-week-old' baby girl whose
Woman, 25 is charged with murder 'after kidnapping baby boy. Share this article Share Scaccia said that Rachel refused to seek any medical treatment for Abigail, stating 'God makes no mistakes' and that she believed in the power of prayer
But the baby's condition only worsened and, on February 8, Abigail started to cough up blood
Instead of taking the infant to the doctor, Rachel put her child 'near a window wearing just a diaper and utilizing a hair dryer to keep her warm,' Scaccia told the Lansing State Journal
At one point, Rachel told her mother, Rebecca Kerr, what the midwife said after Rebecca commented that Abigail's skin was not the right color
But instead of going to the hospital with her newborn, Rachel listened to sermons
On the morning of February 9, Rachel and her mother noticed blood coming out of Abigail's nose and that she was struggling to breathe
Kerr begged her daughter to call for help, but Rachel refused. By 11am that same day, Abigail was dead
Rachel told her husband Joshua, who attempted one rescue breath. He later told detectives he didn't want to try CPR because he didn't know how to perform it on children
The couple then brought Abigail upstairs to 'pray for her' and asked fellow church members to come to their home and 'pray for her resurrection'
They never called the police. Authorities only learned of the child's death after Rachel's brother called from California and reported it
When police arrived they discovered the dead infant and people praying over her body
The autopsy later confirmed that Abigail died from unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus - conditions related to jaundice
If treated she would have more than likely survived, Scaccia said.Rachel and Joshua later told the court that they understood the newborn's symptoms but chose to 'believe in the word of God over the symptoms,' records show
The court also heard they believe they'll be reunited with their baby girl because they think she will be 'resurrected
' Rachel and Joshua were each charged with a single count of involuntary manslaughter and released after posting $75,000 bond on September 21
They each face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. A trial date has not yet been set
It remains unclear if they will face additional charges related to Verity. Their two older sons, aged two and three, were placed in the care of Rachel's parents after the couple refused to stop physically disciplining them
A separate trial to determine whether the Pilands' custody rights to their two sons will be permanently terminated has been delayed for months
The state's Department of Health and Human Services is moving to terminate their parental rights to Verity
The pretrial is scheduled for August 9.
