Which Methods Are Used to Assess Sperm Vitality?
The determination of live and dead spermatozoa (vitality index) is made when the percentage of immotile spermatozoa in the spermogram is high. Read more
What Is PICSI or Physiological ICSI in IVF?
PICSI is a technique used in some centers to select the best spermatozoa, since only mature spermatozoa can be attached to the special plate used in this method. This plate contains a substance similar to hyaluronic acid. Read more
What is meant by egg vitrification and what are its advantages?
