Ultrasound Waves Boost Sperm Motility, Offering New Hope for Infertility Treatments

A study from Monash University finds that ultrasound exposure can significantly enhance sperm movement, potentially transforming assisted reproduction options.

New research from Monash University shows ultrasound waves can significantly increase sperm motility, offering new hope for infertility treatments.
The study found that 20 seconds of ultrasound exposure could boost sperm motility by up to 266%, potentially reducing the need for more invasive fertility procedures.
Researchers highlight the technique's potential to make immotile sperm motile and further enhance the motility of already active sperm.
The breakthrough could lead to less invasive, more successful assisted reproduction options, with lower health risks for future children.
Further research is needed to confirm the long-term effects and safety of ultrasound-exposed sperm for use in IVF treatments.
