Physiological level of male hormone giving male secondary sex characteristics
What is the percentage of couples experiencing infertility in Australia?
15%
A cause for male infertility is abnormal sperm production. What are some characteristics of abnormal sperm production?
Most cases are not amenable to treatment
They can relate to karyotypic abnormality
They may be acquired from having an infection like mumps
They can be seen in Klinefelter's syndrome

The Y chromosome is important in sperm production.
What are the important semen characteristics for fertility?
Semen volume
Semen pH
Sperm concentration
Motility
Normal forms
White blood cells
Sperm antibodies
What are values of the important semen characteristics needed for fertility?
Semen volume - over 2mL
Semen pH - 7.2-7.8
Sperm concentration - over 20million/ml
Motility - over 50%
Normal forms - over 15%
White blood cells - less than a million/ml
Sperm antibodies - absent
What are the reasons why increasing age reduces fecundity?
Increased miscarriage rate
Increased prematurity rate
Increased fetal abnormality rate
Increased operative delivery rate
Increased perinatal death rate

Increasing age does not reduce fecundity because of increased gonadal hormone levels
What is ICSI and when can it be used?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

I can be used when there are very low sperm levels or only sperm in testes.

Can collect a sperm and inject it directly into an egg to enable fertilization in vitro.
What will give a perfet APGAR score?
Colour - pink
Pulse - over 100/min
Reflex response to suctioning nose - cough, pull away or squeeze
