Study summary

Infertility was reported in approximately 15% of all heterozygous couples, with male factor accounting for nearly half the cases. This typically occurs due to low sperm production, sperm dysfunction, and sperm delivery obstruction. Etiology of male infertility can be attributed to many factors including acute or chronic illness, accidents, and lifestyle choices.

Read the detailed description

This study demonstrated that using a painless, convenient at-home device could significantly improve sperm motility and count. This device can be utilized to tackle (for unexplained infertility) the significant issue of infertility in a cost-effective, safe and efficacious.
