A male fertility test
Filed in archive Investigational on January 5, 2006
A male fertility test is being investigated:
To conduct the test the man produces a sample, sets the device and within an hour will find out whether he has enough sperm to fertilise a female egg.
The test works by forcing sperm to swim through a barrier mimicking the female cervix. It then measures the number of sperm which get beyond this point.
If a high enough level of active sperm is present in the sample, a red line indicates a positive test.
During the development of the test the research team analysed more than 3,000 individual sperm samples.
Nationally as many as one in six couples will have to undergo personal testing to assess the possibility of them starting a family.
Research suggests more than two million men may have low fertility and that it may be becoming more of a problem.

Interesting. I never heard this kind of news before. Is the technology only new? I guess, only few countries have this kind of test. I have a friend who wants to undergo such test in order to see what's keeping him and his wife still without any children.

Men should be try to father children before the age of thirty-five to avoid fertility problems and for the health of the child. There is a definite male biological clock and both men and women should be mad aware of it.

I agree, a certain clock exists in all of us, but what i can't imagine is : who on god's earth would want to work in a place like this ? we need those people but it surely isn't my dreamjob.
