Treatment of infertility in men

A new way to help couples who struggle every year to get a child, techniques such as artificial insemination and laboratory tubes have emerged, but unfortunately their success rate has always been relatively low.

Because male fertility accounts for almost half of all infertility, scientists focus on the main causes of the disease. They found that most of them are due to poor sperm capacity, low numbers of sperm, or inability to swim until reaching the egg. Now a team of German researchers has invented a "



, A micro-engine that can, according to a recent study, "help sperm to swim better towards the egg to improve fertility."

This technique can also be less expensive than other technologies
 This invention is a small metal screw that fits the size of the tail of the sperm, but not wide, so as not to cover the head of the sperm.
 Researchers can direct the metal coil to a sperm,
 And then use it as a motor to propel the sperm into the corresponding egg.

In this way the sperm can fertilize the egg
, And the small engine can slip simply from the body of the sperm. Scientists say: "The magnetic field
Does not cause any harm to any of the cells involved, making the use of this coil ideal with living tissue. "The researchers wrote that" when using this invention in laboratories
, Has proven to be very effective in directing healthy sperm to its intended destination, while minimizing damage to the sperm itself "so as not to cause problems.

They said they still needed more time to conduct the tests on infertile patients, as researchers sought to find a way to monitor the movement of this coil within the human body, and then facilitate the remote guidance to the egg to fertilize, an achievement that is not considered until this moment possible Technologically. Researchers are still unsure about how the body's immune system will interact with the metal coil, which will be inserted into the body, as well as the need for further improvements to the coil so as not to cause any kind of damage to the sperm body
