A new fertility technology from Tel Aviv University has increased IVF success rates from 34% to 65% by selecting sperm with optimal genetic health. Dr. Lorne Brown, Clinical Director at Acubalance, stresses the importance of male fertility, noting that men contribute to 50% of infertility cases. He urges men to take proactive steps, as research shows diet, lifestyle changes, acupuncture, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can significantly improve sperm quality. This innovation highlights the crucial role of sperm health in conception, offering new hope for couples struggling with infertility.
VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent breakthrough in Israeli fertility technology nearly doubles IVF success rates. Developed in the lab of Natan T. Shaked, chair of Tel Aviv University's Biomedical Engineering Department, this technology identifies sperm with optimal genetic health, boosting pregnancy success rates from 34% to 65%.
Shaked told Media Line, "We knew sperm selection was important, but the fact that we could nearly double the success rate of IVF was surprising. This proves that sperm selection is a much more critical factor than previously believed."
"We've been sharing this message for over two decades. It takes a healthy sperm cell and a healthy egg cell to create a healthy baby," said Dr. Lorne Brown, Clinical Director at Acubalance. "Considering men contribute to 50% of infertility cases, improving sperm health is crucial for enhancing fertility outcomes and supporting healthy pregnancies."
He continued, "We hear it all the time—women wish their partners would get more involved, but many men say things like, 'I don't believe in that stuff' or 'I'm fine.' But 'that stuff' matters. Research shows that diet and lifestyle changes, supplements, acupuncture, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can significantly improve sperm quality by reducing oxidative stress and improving motility, morphology, and energy production."
We hope this inspires men to take action—or encourages their partners to strongly nudge (or lovingly push!) them to get involved. Improving sperm quality might mean you can avoid IVF altogether. And if IVF is necessary, your chances of success will be that much higher.
