Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive after 12
months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions
couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of
unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional
specialist. In this article, we will discuss what is male infertility
acrosome reaction test.
I. Definition
An
Acrosome reaction test is a sperm analysis. The sample is taken through
masturbation to see how the sperm performs during the fertilizing
process. It may be necessary if the fertilization specialist suspects
that the causes of infertility may be a sperm related problem.
II. Diagnosis
After
the sample is taken, your fertility specialist exammines the acrosome
reaction of your sperm to see how your sperm penetrates the female egg,
how the enzymes (acrosome, then acrosin released from the sperm head) in
sperm work through tough coating of the eggs to fertilize it. If not,
it may be other causes of infertility and specific treatment is
required.
III. Analysis
If the diagnosis finds that the sperm
is unable to penetrate the egg because of a lack of acrosome or acrosin,
then intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be suggested by your
specialist so that the fertilization process can be by-passed by the
natural penetration of sperm as ICSI is the direct injection of a sperm
cell into the egg. If the ICSI is decided, then the fertilization
process is either through intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro
fertilisation (IVF).
Since the test only provides a limited
amount of information about how sperm penetrate the egg, some doctor may
choose to forgo it because of very low percentage of males who have
such problem, unless it is absolutely necessary.
