Now, test sperm motility in the privacy of your own home

A US company has launched a kit to test sperm motility via a smartphone-based platform

A first test of this type was launched last week and helps you measure the concentration of motile sperm in the privacy of your home.

Medical Electronic Systems, a Los Angeles-based technology company specializing in rapid seed auto-analysis, has announced the launch of the YO® Home Sperm test. This is a smartphone video platform that has been validated by the USFDA to measure motile sperm concentration (the number of moving sperm). This is a critical factor in determining male fertility. YO® has an accuracy of 97%.

Traditionally, fertility concerns have mainly focused on women's fertility issues. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that men's reproductive health problems also contribute to infertility. Increasing stress, smoking, pollution are just some of the many factors that contribute to lower fertility.

A couple is just as likely to be infertile due to reproductive problems in the wife as in the husband. Yet women are at the center of infertility, social and, in some cases, medical investigations. A man may not be tested until the woman's work and treatment are completed, which may take a year or more. This delay can often lead to a significant loss of time.

In order to solve the problem of delayed tests in men and eliminate the stressful public nature of sperm analysis in humans, the YO® Home Sperm Test kit was developed by Medical Electronic Systems .

"YO® is both an accurate and private home-based test that provides accurate assessment of the concentration of sperm in motion (MSC). Testing sperm in motion is essential in a home test because, with a clear video to support, the results allow the man to approach the doctor with clear evidence of a problem. I see YO as a decisive factor in India and around the world because of the profound need for such a test as a first step in the rapid diagnosis process of male infertility, "said Dr. Vasan, a leading uro-andrologist. in India . He is also president of Manipal Fertility, elected president of the South Asian Society of Sexual Medicine (SASSM), and was recently appointed secretary general of the Asian Society for Female Urology.

The YO® Home Sperm Test kit is sold online at the YO website or via AMAZON.
