Is Sperm Washing The Best Way Forward For Conception?
Hi there, I am a 35 year old female (36 in March), and my husband and I have been trying for a baby for the last 2 years. I have a 10 year old son from my previous marriage and ovulate monthly (have only missed two periods over the two years). My husband went for a sperm test which came back as 6%. Would sperm washing be our best way forward? Regards Melanie

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
6% sperm test doent clear the picture of semen analysis.
Sperm washing advised when you want to go for IUI intra uterine insemination.
I would advise to go for ultrasound color doppler scan of scrotum to rule out varicocele, to see testes vascularity.
Scan and consult a urologist.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
