Abstract
A method is described for the separation of motile sperm from semen by "migration' into a diluent, providing a large area of interface between the semen and the diluent and resulting in a good yield of motile sperm (58%), with a mean percentage of motility of 95%. The method provides a specimen free of seminal plasma and debris and suitable for intrauterine insemination in less than two hours. The motile fraction was used for AIH treatment of 20 couples with a mean of 4 years' infertility, where the female factor had been excluded and the male was asthenospermic. After a mean of six cycles, three pregnancies were achieved. Improvement of the percentage of motility alone did not, in this study, give a significant improvement in conception rates when compared with accepted cycles with the placebo.Entities:
