When a couple is
diagnosed as having infertility
issues, the woman is the first to wonder
what could be wrong with her, the man is usually looked at secondary. In my case, my husband was examined long after I was diagnosed.
Male Infertility
contributes to a couple’s infertility quite significantly with up to 80% of cases cannot be diagnosed or treated. This is why according
to an article in Medical News Today, a team
of Bay Area Researchers is examining the factors both physchological and biochemical which tells when sperms are

From the Article
“At the 58th Annual Biophysical Society
Meeting, which took place Feb. 15-19, 2014, in San Francisco, Calif., the team
presented its work to identify and characterize proteins known as ion channels,
which are crucial for sperm fertility and expressed within a sperm cell's
plasma membrane.
To study ion channels, the researchers are
recording the electrical activity of sperm ion channels under strictly
controlled conditions.”
Overall, the findings
from this research could prove crucial in future development of new
pain management therapies as well as
diagnostic tests and treatments for male infertility.
