More Sex sperm can be healed

For men with fertility disorders, some physicians, a very conventional way to have a child more than sex.

In an Australian study of 118 men of damaged sperm, doctors found that the sex of each day for a week reduces the amount of DNA damage in sperm of their patients. Previous studies in the context of better quality semen to higher rate of pregnancy.

The investigation was announced Tuesday at a meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, Amsterdam.

Dr. David Greening of Sydney IVF, a private clinic in Australia, and colleagues of 118 men, sperm damage. Ecology and colleagues, men who have sex every day for a week. After seven days, doctors in 81% of men, there was a decrease of 12% up to damaged sperm.

Many experts recommend the fertility of men contain Sex partners before IVF to try, that the number of sperm.

Semen may also be to improve the quality, if people do not smoke, drink moderately, exercise or more antioxidants.

Since the end of the study, said he had now Greening all couples, fertility counseling to start with more than sex. "Some of the older men a little worried," he said. "But most young people seem very happy."

Sex experts believe help to reduce damage to sperm DNA, allowing the body quickly, if the semen in the body too long, it has a better chance of damage.

Some experts say that while the greening of the research is promising, but does not prove that sex every day for men with fertility disorders actually more babies.

Greening said he and his colleagues are still analyzing data from the study to determine the number of pregnant women.

"In view of the sperm DNA is only part of the puzzle," said Bill Ledger, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Sheffield, which are not related to the research. " Maybe the pregnancy, but here we must do more studies. "

Ledger said the formation of couples with infertility problems to more stress might Sex their relationship. "This may be even more afraid, and more harm than good," he says. He said couples should not under pressure to their sex life for reasons of the birth of a child.

Greening said the results of the study were ultimately very intuitive. "If you want a baby, our advice is often to do."
