Science DiscussionsOvulation is the process in females that produce an ovum (egg) for reproduction. Sperm from males are needed to fertilize the females’ eggs. Dr. Greening stated, “Although the mean average was 26% which is in the 'fair' range for sperm quality, this included 18% of men whose sperm DNA damage increased as well as those whose DNA damage decreased. Amongst the men whose damage decreased, their average dropped by 12% to just under 23% DFI, which puts them in the 'good' range. Also, more men moved into the 'good' range and out of the 'poor' or 'fair' range. These changes were substantial and statistically highly significant.” [News-Medical.net] He added, “In addition, we found that although frequent ejaculation decreased semen volume and sperm concentrations, it did not compromise sperm motility and, in fact, this rose slightly but significantly.” [News-Medical.net] The Greening team will perform more research to see if improved sperm quality based on these activities helps to improve pregnancy rates in females and to find the optimum days in which to have sex or ejaculate before ovulation in their female partner.
