Method for quickly and easily determining semen viscosity

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for quickly and easily determining whether the semen viscosity of a male is normal or not. According to the method, a glass slide with a certain rough surface is adopted, a semen sample starts to naturally flow from a fixed position of the glass slide with a certain inclining angle under the action of gravity, an operator examines whether the front flowing end of semen exceeds a marking line or not within specified time, and the result can be used for determining whether the viscosity of the semen sample reaches the minimum standard of male fertility or not. Comparing research proves that the determination result of the method has no statistic difference with the result of standard methods, such as a pipette method and a glass rod method, recommended by WHO (World Health Organization), so that the method can be used for quickly examining whether the viscosity of a semen sample is normal or not and assisting in evaluation of male sperm motility. More importantly, an examinee can operate by self at a table by the method to complete the evaluation of semen viscosity, and reference is provided to further screening of infertility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a quick and simple method for judging whether the viscosity of male semen is normal or not. Use a glass slide with a certain rough surface to make the semen sample flow naturally under the action of gravity from the fixed position concentration of the glass slide at a certain inclined angle, and check whether the front end of the semen flow exceeds the mark line within the specified time, and judge the semen based on the result Whether the viscosity of the sample meets the minimum standard for male fertility. The qualitative judgment results of this method are helpful to analyze the causes of male infertility. Background technique [0002] Male infertility is one of the most important problems in human reproduction, and it is the most common clinical problem and serious challenge in andrology. Due to the decline in the quality and quantity of male sperm in the past 30 to 50 years, the incidence of testicular cancer, poor test...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although the method recommended by WHO is simple, it requires more professional equipment, such as a wide-caliber (diameter of about 1.5mm) disposable plastic pipette, or a glass rod, and the drawing will disappear instantly after forming in a short time, accurate measurement Its length is difficult and cannot be done at the desk, so it needs to be done in a professional laboratory by experienced technicians

However, because male semen involves personal privacy issues, men who suspect sperm concentration and motility are often secretive about sensitive issues related to their male potency, and are extremely reluctant to require third-party testing
