Abstract
Traditional vaginal lubricants have been shown to adversely affect sperm motility. Astroglide, a new vaginal lubricant, and K-Y Jelly were tested at varying concentrations to assess their suitability for infertility patients requiring a lubricant. The vaginal lubricants tested impaired sperm motility in a concentration-dependent but not time-dependent manner. We conclude that all traditional vaginal lubricants should be avoided in patients desiring conception. Future studies should attempt to mimic in vivo conditions and focus on concentration-dependent effects.Entities:
