Does sperm washing increase chances of pregnancy?
What increases male sperm motility? What does a sperm wash do?
Answer from:
Gynaecologist, Consultant in Reproductive Medicine Phoenix Hospital Group
It does actually. As I said it reduces the amount of debris, the immotile sperm, the dead sperm, so what we have is a relative increase in the motility. The initial motility could be masked by the other sperm, however when we remove all of the other sperms that are not actually active, it gives a relative boost for the motility of the sperm.
