Fertility Test
Male Fertility Tests
It has been medically proved that close to 40% of problems related to infertility are because of the male partner. About ten percent of the infertility factors are due to both the male and the female partners. Some of the factors determining male infertility and problems are low sperm production, lesser sperm motility, sperm transport and infections.
The reason for a low sperm count is imbalance in hormones, excessive use of alcohol, cigarette smoking, medication and problems related to testes. These result in low motility of sperms. The quality of sperms depends on the motility which means the percentage of moving sperms.
There is a higher percentage of fertility related problems in today’s younger generation. Men who undergo this problem get depressed and lose confidence. This becomes a cause for concern for the couple. The questions which bother him day in and day out are “What is my sperm motility”? “Whether I can become a father”? The only way he can be satisfied is going for a fertilization test.
It is difficult to put a figure to the normal sperm count. You need only one healthy sperm for fertilizing an egg. The statistical average is 10 million sperms (motile) per ml. A man who is undergoing a vasectomy could have a sperm count ranging from 2 million to about 300 million. This is per ml. A man with a very less motility – sperm count may have as less as 2-5 million. Hence, it is not very easy for a doctor to come to conclusions regarding the sperm count and the motility.
Till a man decides that he wants to become a father, he is unaware about the likely problems. That is when the couple decides to take sperm fertility tests. These tests are basically screening tests which are done by a professional physician. These tests determine the motility rate of the sperm and fertility problems, if any. The tests conducted also help in evaluating the fertility of the person and they can be done privately within the precincts of your home.
It is a misconceived notion that infertility is related to only women. An infertile male could be the main reason for a couple not successful in having children. In a male fertility test, semen analysis is conducted. The tested semen is placed under a microscope to evaluate whether the sperms are healthy or not. A semen analysis would deduce the percentage of healthy sperms, volume of sperms, its motility percentage etc. Both the size and shape of the sperm are considered. The semen is also examined to detect if there are any white blood corpuscles. The presence of WBC indicates an infection. A healthy sperm is capable of swimming across straightly in a line to join the egg; only then can the female partner conceive.
With so many improvements taking place day in and day out in the medical field, male fertility tests are conducted in a computerized fashion. Computer semen analysis tests use imaging techniques, so that the results are precise. Tests conducted at home would also be able to ascertain the sperm count of the male. For a better reading, computerized tests are advocated.

Fertility of Immigrants by Milewski, Nadja Edition ILL, 0 $39.49 This book examines fertility patterns of post-war labor migrants and their descendants in Germany. It includes an introduction to the post-war migration history of Germany and a thorough review of the international literature on fertility of migrants and cultural sub-groups. The author uses data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study and applies event-history techniques to test a set of competing hypotheses derived from the literature. The analysis finds evidence for the effects of adaptation, socialization and composition, as well as for an interrelation of events. It does not however find evidence for a disruptive influence of migration on childbearing behavior. The book shows the advantages of a longitudinal research design over the conventional cross-sectional approach and sets a new standard for research on the fertility of international migrants and their descendants in western European receiving societies. |

The Fertility Revolution by Easterlin, Richard A.; Crimmins, Eileen M. Edition ILL, 0 $36.49 For most of human history a natural fertility regime has prevailed throughout the world: there has been almost no conscious limitation of family size within marriage, and women have spent their reproductive lives tied to the wheel of childbearing. Only recently in developed countries has fertility been brought under conscious control by individual couples and childbearing fallen to an average of two births per woman. The explanation of this fertility revolution is the main concern of this book.Richard A. Easterlin and Eileen M. Crimmins present and test a fertility theory that has gained increasing attention over the last decade, a supply-demand theory that integrates economic and sociological approaches to fertility determination. The results of the tests, which draw on data from four developing countries—Colombia, India, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan—are highly consistent, though a number of the conclusions are likely to arouse controversy. For example, couples’ motivation for fertility control appears to be the prime mover in the fertility revolution, rather than access to family planning services or unfavorable attitudes toward such services.The interdisciplinary approach and nontechnical exposition of this study will attract a wide readership among economists, sociologists, demographers, anthropologists, statisticians, biologists, and others. |
