In a standard conception, a rigorous selection of millions of sperm ensures that only the optimal sperm reaches the egg. Traditionally, density gradient centrifugation (DGC), in which sperm is forced to pass through a gradient column, is often used for sperm preparation. However, recent research suggests that this procedure may reduce sperm motility and increase sperm DNA damage. Several studies have shown that increased DNA damage can be associated with decreased blastocyst formation, impaired embryonic development, and increased risk of miscarriage.
For our patients, we use the latest sperm selection techniques to increase their chances of success with assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Our approach to sperm selection goes beyond simply increasing the proportion of motile sperm with intact DNA. We apply a balanced approach that also preserves DNA integrity, is affordable, and optimizes the chances of treatment success.
Selecting high-quality sperm is crucial to the success of your assisted reproductive treatment. We utilize innovative technologies like Microchip Sperm Selection to ensure that only the best sperm are chosen for fertilization.
Microchip Sperm Selection is more than just a name; it represents a sophisticated process designed to selectively identify and choose sperm with optimal motility, morphology, and structural integrity. This procedure is gaining importance and can make a significant difference, especially for couples facing specific medical challenges.
The application of this innovative technique is tailored to each specific case and thoroughly discussed with patients during consultations with Dr. Roukoudis. This ensures a customized approach to achieve the best possible outcomes for everyone.
