Oligozoospermia
Explanation: Low sperm count in the ejaculate.
May be caused by:
Poor production of sperm
Impaired transport of sperm
Causes of impaired transport:
Inflammation
Varicocele (varicose veins)
Genetic conditions
Help from PROfortilTM
- By using PROfortilTM sperm density was increased by 215.5% on average.
Causes of poor production:
Stress
Infections
Hormonal imbalance
Diabetes
Cancer surgery
Malposition of testes
Genetic & environmental factors
Alcohol or drug abuse
Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (“triple defect”)
Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia is an abnormal change of sperm.
Three abnormal parameters:
- Not enough sperm (“oligo”)
- Low motility of the sperm (“astheno”)
- Increased levels of abnormally shaped sperm (“terato”)
Help from PROfortilTM
Sucessful improvement of: sperm density, motility and morphology
Caused by:
Malposition of testes
Varicocele
Chromosome abnormalities
Hormonal imbalance
Infections
Medication or alcohol/drug abuse
Teratozoospermia
Explanation: Increased levels of abnormally shaped sperm (sperm morphology)
Help from PROfortilTM
- By using PROfortilTM sperm morphology was improved from -2,4% to 23,0%
DNA fragmentation
Sperm is the bearer of genetic information – it has to transport the DNA safely packed packaged into the egg.
Help from PROfortilTM
Latest results of the 2012 clinical study showed that male infertility may also be associated with damaged genetic material (DNA fragmentation). After three months of taking PROfertil® there was a successful increase in undamaged DNA from 56% to 74%.
Asthenozoospermia
Explanation: Reduced motility of the sperm in the ejaculate.
Help from PROfortilTM
- In the control group, PROfertil increased the number of progressively moving sperm by 83.1% in the treatment group.
Total motility (movement) is increased by 36.4% on average.
Increased motility of the sperm combined with an improvement in all other sperm parameters lead to an increase in the rate of fertilisation
Aspermia: absence of semen
Azoospermia: absence of sperm
Necorzoospermia: all sperm in the ejaculate are dead
