Recent studies show that 40 – 50% of infertility cases in a couple are man related. Sperm analysis is the first and basic method for determining whether a man’s natural ability to reproduce is affected. According to the method of semen examination, sperm analysis is divided into two types – conventional and computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA).

CASA is an automated sperm analysis system in which sperm concentration, motility and morphology are analyzed by specialized software. The main advantage of CASA is that it eliminates the subjectivity associated with the human factor, in manual semen analysis, thereby allowing better standardization of the procedure. The analysis made by this method gives much more detailed information about the concentration of spermatozoids in the sperm, their motility, morphology, vitality and the presence of DNA fragmentation.

Infertility means that a couple has been trying to get pregnant for at least one year without success. This can be due to health issues in both the woman and the man. In nearly half of the cases, the reason  is male factor for infertility.

Although about 50% of couples with reproductive problems suffer from a male factor for infertility, men are generally less likely to undergo fertility assessment. One reason for this is the misconception that male infertility is associated with impotence or decreased masculinity.

IN WHICH CASES DO YOU NEED DONOR SPERM?

Male infertility can be due to a variety of factors, which include genetic disorders, illnesses, injuries, medications, as well as some general aspects of health and lifestyle. These factors may contribute to problems related to spermatogenesis and semen production.

WHAT REACTIONS COULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR PARTNER?

The inability to have biological children fundamentally changes the live of every person, regardless of their gender. Ever since ancient times, the greatest „proof“ of manhood has been the ability to continue the bloodline. Therefore, the need for donor sperm can generate a whole spectrum of emotions in your partner.

Some men tend to agree with this option, while others take the news quite hard and may even get depressed. Undoubtedly, the shock is much more pronounced in men who have just found out that they are suffering from infertility. Quite often, the partner feels helpless, unnecessary, and as if he has failed his wife. Guided by a sense of guilt, some men would even think about separation despite having a pretty solid relationship.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

Whatever the response of your partner is, open communication is the way to finding a solution. This will probably be one of the most difficult conversations you will ever have because it affects not only you but your future child as well. Here are some tips on how you approach the situation:

– Talk when both of you are well-rested. Fatigue can significantly worsen the discussion.

– Talk about your feelings. Does your partner agree with you getting pregnant with donor sperm? How would he feel about raising a child who is not genetically related to him? What would you tell your family, friends, and one day your child?

– Try to be empathetic. Before you say anything that would hurt your partner, try putting yourself in his shoes.

– Seek professional help. A psychologist can be a great mediator when we need to have a serious conversation. With their help, you and your partner will be able to reach the solution that best meets the requirements of your relationship.

If you are in this situation, do not hesitate to contact us. Our psychologist at New Life Clinic has experience with couples suffering from infertility and she certainly can be very helpful to you!

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A SPERM DONOR

ANABOLIC STEROIDS AND MALE FERTILITY

Congenital orthopedic disorders are often the cause of severely impaired quality of life. To the delight of parents who have encountered these problems, the tissues of the newborn’s musculoskeletal system are still soft and flexible. This allows for a timely diagnosis thus preventing aggressive surgeries and a chance for a full recovery.

WHICH ARE THE MOST COMMON ORTHOPEDIC DISEASES IN THE NEWBORN?

Some orthopedic problems are noticed immediately after birth. Hip dysplasia is the most common orthopedic problem in newborns and therefore doctors are always on the look for it.

When a child has hip dysplasia, parents notice a difference in leg length. Another alarming symptom is when one leg is more difficult to flex when changing diapers. Thigh folds that are asymmetrical could indicate a problem. Children with hip dysplasia start walking later and usually limp.

Newborns are examined for hip dysplasia in the maternity ward, and later during checkups. If your pediatrician suspects your baby has hip dysplasia, they can recommend an ultrasound of the hips or an x-ray after the baby turns 4 months. Early diagnosis of hip dysplasia is essential to prevent its progression to luxation and possible surgical interventions in the future.

RISK FACTORS

Risk factors for the presence of congenital orthopedic disease include: heredity, females, breech babies, twins, triplets, preterm birth, high birth weight, oligohydramnion (amniotic fluid deficiency).

Gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, infections (rubella, chicken pox, cytomegalovirus), alcohol use and cigarettes during pregnancy could increase the risk of your baby having hip dysplasia.

This is why a healthy lifestyle and prevention of complications is so important during pregnancy.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR HIP DYSPLASIA PREVENTION

The hip joints of the newborn develop by about 5-6 months of age. Diapers, wearing a kangaroo or sling can prevent hip dysplasia or luxation. The baby’s legs should not be stretched out (for example, when swaddling), as this impedes the development of the hip joints. An interesting fact is that this disease is almost never found in some African and Asian countries, where mothers carry their babies  on their backs or hips.
