Kompas.com - Using donor sperm and IVF techniques are now the single women who are concerned with the biological age can still have a baby, although not yet found a life companion.
In recent years an increasing number of single women who want to become mothers. According to data in the UK, in 2009 there were 1615 cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or IVF derived from donor sperm and produce 585 births. In 2010 there was an increase 21 percent by 1963 the number of IVF cycles.
"The women realize their biological clock is ticking. Biological clock men and women are different. These women are aware they can not wait to have children until they appear ideal man," said Prof.Geeta Nargund, head of reproductive medicine from St.George 's University Hospital in London.
According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in all types of in vitro fertilization increased 5.9 percent in 2010. Therapies include IVF and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed by injecting a single sperm into an egg cell.
Of all the IVF treatment, 74 percent use their own eggs and 17 percent used another woman's eggs are frozen. About three percent use a donor egg and donor insemination using a six percent.
The average age of women who had IVF was 35 years old. About 4 percent are women aged 43-44 years, and two percent of women aged over 45 years.
In Indonesia alone IVF procedure should only be carried out to married couples who fail to do pregnancy in a natural way due to the blockage of the fallopian tubes problems or problems in poor sperm quality. Engineering ethics on the grounds that test tube baby using sperm and egg donation is not allowed.

Exercise Increase Sperm Production
Kompas.com - Prepare your sneakers. Men who regularly perform endurance exercise (endurance) tend to have better sperm production.
This was evidenced in research by researchers from Spain. They tested 31 healthy men who regularly exercise 2-4 times a week. When compared with men who rarely exercise, it turns out these guys sperm swim faster.
Why is that? Diana Vaamonde, Ph.D., who conducted this research explains that the exercise will stimulate the production of hormones such as testosterone are required to have seminal fluid and sperm cells healthy.
However, exercise should be done in moderation. Sports are too heavy with high intensity can actually cause a decrease in sperm quality in the age of 50 years. Sports are too esktrim mentioned spending will stimulate the stress hormones like cortisol that can actually interfere with the male sex hormone.
To keep the sperm count remained high, the recommended exercise duration is approximately 3-5 hours per week that are divided into several times.Kompas.com

"Junk Food" Make Sperm Drag
KOMPAS.com - A lot of research showing the negative effects of the consumption of junk food on health. In fact, says the latest study, the consumption of junk food is also related to the amount of sperm production in men.
In a small study reported in the journal Human Reproduction, researchers studied a group of 99 men attending a fertility clinic in the United States. The results showed that men who consume high amounts of fat tend to have fewer sperm.
The study also found that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and vegetable oils, can help improve the quality of sperm.
Lead researcher Professor Jill Attaman, of Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, said, "The relationship between the two is quite big. This finding is both a reason to encourage everyone to limit their consumption of saturated fat is associated with cardiovascular disease perkembagan."
In the study, researchers divided the participants into three groups of men to see how much of their fat consumption. The results show, than those who ate less fat, fat man with the highest intake had 43 percent of the amount of sperm and lower sperm concentrations of 38 per cent lower. Sperm concentration is defined as the number of sperm per unit volume of cement.
Researchers emphasized that high-fat diet does not seem to interfere with the fertility of the male respondents in this research. In fact, no male sperm count below the WHO threshold set that is at least 39 million to 15 million per milliliter concentrations. Even in men who consumed the highest fat content (37 percent calories exceed normal limits), the number of sperm concentration reached 125 million with an average of 51 million per milliliter.
However, researchers still account for the fact that 71 percent of male respondents are overweight or obese, in which case it will certainly have a negative impact on sperm quality.
Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, assess the research is still limited and needs to be studied further. "It's a relatively small study that showed no association between intake of saturated fat diet with semen quality," he said
Pacey pleaded not surprised by these findings and the future he hopes there will be further research to clarify the relationship between the two. "There are several ways to improve the quality of sperm for infertile men with eating include eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking and if you are overweight should try to lose weight in the normal range," he added.Kompas.com

Sperm into the urinary bladder
Diabetes is one disease that often leads to sexual dysfunction, in the form of erectile dysfunction and retrograde ejaculation. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to have or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to disruption of blood vessels called angiopathy.
Retrograde ejaculation means the ejaculate backwards, sperm are not expelled through the penis, but entry into the bladder. Usually men who have retrograde ejaculation do not see any sperm that comes out when orgasm.
You have two things that penile erection is not optimal and there is no sperm comes out when orgasm. Sperm did not come out because it goes into the bladder kecing, not because of running out. Fluid and sperm cells are produced spermatozoanya fixed, but when you ejaculate, sperm enter the bladder because the muscles around the bladder bottom hole does not close tightly. This situation is caused by nerve disorders caused by diabetes.
Retrograde ejaculation, from the point of sexual satisfaction, is actually not a problem even if no sperm comes out. Unless you and your wife still wants to have children. To overcome this, diabetes must be addressed. In addition, you must receive treatment erektogenik, which helps the erection.
Also there are treatments to help muscle contraction around the pit bottom of the bladder. Thus, the sperm no longer get into the bladder. I suggest you get the right treatment and examination, including laboratory tests.

Avid Cola, Can Damage Sperm?
LONDON, KOMPAS.com - For those of you who avidly drink cola or soft drink, you should think again. Recent research scientists from the Danish state, the consumption of up to 1 liter of cola drinks per day can damage sperm quality.
As American Journal of Epidemiology, male drinkers of soft drinks have a low sperm count. When averaged, the number of sperm cells of men is almost 30 percent lower than men who did not drink cola.
Although sperm count is still considered as normal by the World Health Organization (WHO), a man whose sperm count slightly greater risk of experiencing infertility or infertility.
The researchers said the discovery of the relationship of cola with a lower sperm quality was not caused by caffeine. According to them, the coffee did not show similar effects although the content kefeinnya higher. Other substances contained in the beverage or an unhealthy lifestyle that others could be the cause.
Kold Jensen, who led the research, said that so far the research that revealed the impact of caffeine on male reproductive health is still very little. Previous studies involved only participants from specific groups, such as male infertility. The results of his research was still being debated.
Jensen held research is stimulated increased consumption of soft drink beverages containing caffeine among the citizens of Denmark in the last decade. They wanted to examine the extent of its influence on reproductive health.
More than 2,500 young men involved in this research. Those who do not drink cola had better sperm quality-average 50 million sperm per milliliter of semen, and tend to have a healthier lifestyle.
Meanwhile, as many as 93 men who drank more than 1 liter per day only has 35 million sperm per milliliter of semen. They also had a bad lifestyle. More often eat fast food, little consumption of fruits and vegetables.
Caffeine intake from other sources, such as coffee or tea, is also explored in this research. However, its connection with the decline in sperm quality is not too obvious.
It remains unclear whether cola beverages, lifestyle, or a combination of both, the cause of low sperm quality. Jensen and his team recognized that there needs to be further study to prove it.

Paprika Make Sperm More Aggressive
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - OTHER THAN as a vegetable or cooking spices, pepper was rich in vitamin C, even higher than oranges abortion. Paparika also contain many nutrients and can prevent cancer, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, diabetes mellitus, and can improve sperm quality.
Paprika (Capsicum annuum) is a type of pepper that taste sweet and slightly spicy. Compared to other chili, peppers including special because it contains a very high nutrition, especially vitamin C. The content of vitamin C in peppers is much higher than the orange that has been known as a source of vitamin C.
Every 100 grams of red pepper contains 190 mg of vitamin C, the highest among other types of peppers. In contrast, 100 grams of oranges contains only 30-50 mg of vitamin C. Vitamin C is known as a compound the body needs in a variety of important processes, ranging from the manufacture of collagen (fibrous protein that forms connective tissue in the bone), fat transport, transport electrons from a variety of enzymatic reactions, hyper healthy gums, regulating cholesterol levels, as well as immunity boosters .
In addition, our bodies need vitamin C for wound healing and improve brain function in order to work optimally. Body's need for vitamin C is 75 mg per day for adult women and 90 mg per day for adult men. The maximum limit consumption of vitamin C is 1,000 mg per day.
Paprika is also rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene. In red pepper contains 3131 IU of vitamin A, the highest dibandingakan other types of peppers. Vitamin A is necessary the body to prevent eye disease, cell growth, immune system, reproduction, and maintaining healthy skin.
Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that may play an important role in reducing the concentration of peroxyl radicals. Ability to work as an antioxidant beta-carotene comes from its ability to stabilize the carbon-core radicals. Because beta-carotene is effective at low concentrations of oxygen, beta-carotene can complement the antioxidant properties of vitamin E is effective at high concentrations of oxygen.
Beta-carotene is also known as an element of cancer prevention, especially skin cancer and lung cancer. Beta carotene can reach more parts of the body in a relatively longer time compared to vitamin A, so as to provide more optimal protection against the emergence of cancer.
The George Mateljan Foundation (2006) states that the amount of vitamin B6 on peppers include excellent category. That is because the peppers contain vitamin B6 with a high density level.
Vitamin B6 is important for the brain to function normally, helping to form proteins, hormones, and red blood cells. Most of the content of beta-carotene in paprika concentrated near the skin. Just like other vegetables, the older the color of paprika, beta-carotene in it more and more.
Anticancer
The content of vitamin B6 and folic acid in the peppers are excellent for preventing atherosclerosis and diabetes. Both of these bodies need vitamins to reduce homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is produced from the methylation cycle in the body.
Homocysteine is very harmful for the body because it can interfere with blood circulation and lead to deadly diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Paprika is also rich in fiber (dietary fiber), which will help reduce the number of cholesterol in the body and prevent colon cancer.
In red peppers, there is a fairly high lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment that carries the color red. These pigments belong to the class of phytochemical compounds are easily found in fruits such as red peppers. Lycopene is known by a variety of benefits such as anticancer.
A study conducted at Yale University on 473 men found that men who are free of prostate cancer have more lycopene in their blood than those who were sick. The same study was also conducted by Harvard University in 2002, proving that men who consume large amounts of lycopene have a lower risk of cancer, particularly prostate cancer.
In addition to prostate cancer, lycopene may also reduce the consumption of various types of cancer. A study in Iran as reported by Cook et al (1979) showed that consumption of lycopene may reduce esofagal 39 percent of cancers in men.
De Vet HC et al (1991) reported that women who ate tomatoes at least three pieces in a week have a risk of neck bone cancer 40 percent lower than those who do not eat them. Helzlsouer et al (1996) reported that consumption of lycopene may reduce the 7.4 percent risk of uterine cancer.
Lycopene is also reported to be able to cope with stomach cancer caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. The presence of lycopene is very useful for menghmbat oxidation caused by the bacteria. According Atanasova (1997), lycopene also can inhibit the formation of N-nitrosamins which can cause stomach cancer.
Paprika is also a good antioxidant. Giovannucci (1999) reported the structure is potentially as an antioxidant lycopene. The absence of ring structures betaione cause lycopene has an excellent antioxidant activity.
Stereochemical structure of lycopene is different from other types of carotenoids. The structure of lycopene can not be converted into vitamin A and are known to be efficient in capturing free radicals than other carotenoids.
Lycopene is also known to have antioxidant activity two times stronger than beta-carotene and ten times more potent than vitamin E. Thus, reaction of lycopene as an antioxidant in the body better than vitamins A, C, E, and other minerals.
Increase Sperm
Consumption of lycopene in red pepper is believed to improve sexual quality. Lycopene is believed to increase sperm count, improve sperm structure, and increased aggressiveness.
A study conducted in India on 30 infertile couples prove that consumption of lycopene by 20 mg for 3 months continuously can increase sperm count by 67 percent, improve the structure of sperm as much as 63 percent, and increase the speed of sperm as much as 73 percent.
According to All India Institute of Science New Delhi (2002), lycopene is one of 650 types of carotenoids that are normally present in high concentrations in the testis. If low concentrations of lycopene, men will easily experience infertility.
Lycopene is the red peppers can maintain mental and physical functions of the elderly. After entry into the bloodstream, lycopene would capture free radicals on cells and repair old cells that have been damaged.
How to Processing, Selecting, and Saving the Good
Paprika processing should be done properly so as not to reduce the nutritional value. In order for vitamin C levels did not evaporate quickly, preferably peppers inserted into the dish at the end of the cooking process or mixed with salads.
Storage peppers should be done correctly. The content of vitamin C can be reduced, even lost, if the peppers that have split the old left exposed to air. According to Irna (2005), tips for choosing and storing peppers is good is as follows:
* Choose paprika whose skin is still smooth, shiny, and not dull.
* Choose peppers hard to ensure that the quality is still nice and new.
* If purchased in a state of plastic-wrapped, open the package immediately to avoid moisture.
* Store the peppers in a plastic bag that has been perforated before being put into the refrigerator, so that the resistance for a long time.
* Peppers should not be left in a state split if it will not be eaten because the vitamin C contained in it can be reduced / lost. @

Revealed, Secrets of Speed Sperm!
WASHINGTON, KOMPAS.com - Scientists have finally managed to unravel the mechanisms that control the movement of sperm cells from reaching the eggs for membuahinya. The discovery that a new chapter in research on fertility as well as opening the way for treatment and the creation of male contraception.
As reported in the February issue of the journal Cell, Dr. Yuriy Kirichok and colleagues from the University of California at San Francisco managed to observe the behavior of sperm. Sperm were not directly bererang shortly after ejaculation. However, when they enter the female reproductive tract, they started swimming and picking up speed as he approached the egg cell.
Sperm cells apparently have limitations. To be the champion, they have to wait for the right moment. The winner does not immediately move, but they waited a moment before then swam sporadically reaching the eggs.
According to researchers, the movement of sperm is also affected by the level of acidity (pH) of their internal. A small pores on the surface of sperm cells will determine the pH change that later became pelecut motion on the tail of sperm.
From previous research it has been revealed that the level of sperm activity is largely determined by internal pH. However, scientists had not yet found a mechanism that can regulate the level of acid or basanya sperm.
In his research, Dr. Yuriy Kirichok found that to increase the pH becomes more alkaline (base), sperm cells must dispose of the molecule protons. To achieve this, it can be done through the pores on the surface of sperm cells.
"The concentration of protons in the sperm 1,000 times higher than outside it. Only by opening a pore, protons will be out-we also have identified molecules that make them out," he said.
Kirichok added, the pores of proficiency level, or researchers with a term called HV1 proton channel, it seems dikonsidikan in the open position. Pores that can respond to a similar substance called anandamide, which is found in the female reproductive organs and substances that high levels around the egg.
Is the endocannabinoid anandamide, a natural substance that can affect neurons. According to researchers, substances found in marijuana cannabinoids also have a similar effect so that it can explain why the use of marijuana causes infertility in men.
"Marijuana seems to make sperm become activated prematurely, so they burned in a matter of hours," said Dr. Kirichok.

Fat people Sucks sperm quality
KOMPAS.com - Impact of overweight or obesity on the health experts continue to be studied. Recent studies have revealed that obese men have worse sperm quality than men whose weight is balanced.
For decades experts examine the impact of obesity on fertility of a man. Some literature mentions, sperm quality lower fat man, seen from low sperm counts and sperm are able to swim swiftly.
New study conducted by researchers from Argentina reinforce previous studies. The researchers evaluated 794 semen samples with a partner a man who is conducting a program of pregnancy.
The researchers found that 155 men classified as obese have a bit of sperm that can swim with the agile and able to migrate compared with men whose weight is normal.
Obese men also tend to have levels of neutral alpha-glucosidase (NAG), an enzyme that is released by the epididymal fluid, which indicates whether a mature sperm cell and can swim. NAG levels in seminal fluid could be a sign of good or poor function of the epididymis.
"This is the first study that reveals the impact of obesity on epididymal function. Even so, it does not mean a man will be infertile due to weight gain," said Dr. Ana Carolina Martini from the National University of Cordoba, Argentina.
Although the effect on the least number of active sperm swim, in research conducted by Dr. Ana is not found the impact of obesity on semen quality, including sperm count, testosterone levels, and the number of sperm with normal shape.
However, Dr. Ana reveals, there is still a chance for obese men to improve sperm quality by reducing the weight of his body. Research has shown that weight reduction could restore reproductive hormone balance.
This study, explains Dr. Ana, has some limitations, namely the respondent is a person who does have fertility problems and levels of actual body mass index can not be a measure of how much actual body fat. Experts say, the measurement of abdominal fat is more effective to know the sex hormone levels compared with body mass index.

For decades experts examine the impact of obesity on fertility of a man. Some literature mentions, sperm quality lower fat man, seen from low sperm counts and sperm are able to swim swiftly.
New study conducted by researchers from Argentina reinforce previous studies. The researchers evaluated 794 semen samples with a partner a man who is conducting a program of pregnancy.
The researchers found that 155 men classified as obese have a bit of sperm that can swim with the agile and able to migrate compared with men whose weight is normal.
Obese men also tend to have levels of neutral alpha-glucosidase (NAG), an enzyme that is released by the epididymal fluid, which indicates whether a mature sperm cell and can swim. NAG levels in seminal fluid could be a sign of good or poor function of the epididymis.
"This is the first study that reveals the impact of obesity on epididymal function. Even so, it does not mean a man will be infertile due to weight gain," said Dr. Ana Carolina Martini from the National University of Cordoba, Argentina.
Although the effect on the least number of active sperm swim, in research conducted by Dr. Ana is not found the impact of obesity on semen quality, including sperm count, testosterone levels, and the number of sperm with normal shape.
However, Dr. Ana reveals, there is still a chance for obese men to improve sperm quality by reducing the weight of his body. Research has shown that weight reduction could restore reproductive hormone balance.
This study, explains Dr. Ana, has some limitations, namely the respondent is a person who does have fertility problems and levels of actual body mass index can not be a measure of how much actual body fat. Experts say, the measurement of abdominal fat is more effective to know the sex hormone levels compared with body mass index.

Spain, Heaven Buy Sell Sperm and egg cells
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Most states prohibit the sale of sperm or egg cell. But in Spain, the transaction donor sperm and egg cells is normal.
The number of sperm and egg donors in Spain could not be separated from government policies that provide benefits for donors. As reported by The Guardian newspaper, one egg each valued 900 euros, or about USD 10 million.
This policy makes Spain was never shortage of donors. In fact, Spain has a predicate as a tourist fertility. Not only the surplus donor, Spain is also superior in terms of technology of artificial insemination.
Compared with Britain, Spain is far superior in this regard. As an illustration, infertile couples in the UK have to wait for 18 to 24 months in order to get a donor for artificial insemination. That, too, the success rate is only 45 percent.
While in Spain, infertile couples "only" were told to wait for five months for artificial insemination procedure. The success rate is also higher, about 65 percent.
About the price was competitive, this is because the number of available donors. If the average, each visit cost only 9000 euros, or about USD 100 million. Compare with the UK that cost about USD 200 million for the insemination procedure.
No wonder that many couples have children with problems, come to Spain to get a donor. Well, attracted to Spain? (mic)

Revealed, Secrets of Speed Sperm
WASHINGTON, KOMPAS.com - Scientists have finally managed to unravel the mechanisms that control the movement of sperm cells from reaching the eggs for membuahinya. The discovery that a new chapter in research on fertility as well as opening the way for treatment and the creation of male contraception.
As reported in the February issue of the journal Cell, Dr. Yuriy Kirichok and colleagues from the University of California at San Francisco managed to observe the behavior of sperm. Sperm were not directly bererang shortly after ejaculation. However, when they enter the female reproductive tract, they started swimming and picking up speed as he approached the egg cell.
Sperm cells apparently have limitations. To be the champion, they have to wait for the right moment. The winner does not immediately move, but they waited a moment before then swam sporadically reaching the eggs.
According to researchers, the movement of sperm is also affected by the level of acidity (pH) of their internal. A small pores on the surface of sperm cells will determine the pH change that later became pelecut motion on the tail of sperm.
From previous research it has been revealed that the level of sperm activity is largely determined by internal pH. However, scientists had not yet found a mechanism that can regulate the level of acid or basanya sperm.
In his research, Dr. Yuriy Kirichok found that to increase the pH becomes more alkaline (base), sperm cells must dispose of the molecule protons. To achieve this, it can be done through the pores on the surface of sperm cells.
"The concentration of protons in the sperm 1,000 times higher than outside it. Only by opening a pore, protons will be out-we also have identified molecules that make them out," he said.
Kirichok added, the pores of proficiency level, or reseahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrchers with a term called HV1 proton channel, it seems dikonsidikan in the open position. Pores that can respond to a similar substance called anandamide, which is found in the female reproductive organs and substances that high levels around the egg.
Is the endocannabinoid anandamide, a natural substance that can affect neurons. According to researchers, substances found in marijuana cannabinoids also have a similar effect so that it can explain why the use of marijuana causes infertility in men.
"Marijuana seems to make sperm become activated prematurely, so they burned in a matter of hours," said Dr. Kirichok.

How Long Sperm Survive?
Kompas.com - sperm cells produced by the testicles, or testes. When good quality sperm, then the chances of an egg and produce a pregnancy will be even greater. When a man ejaculates and sperm release, how long can sperm survive?
The answer depends on many factors, but the important thing is where the sperm is located. On a dry surface such as on clothing or bed linen, sperm cells will die immediately as the seminal fluid (semen) dry.
While in water, such as in the warm pool or bath tub, the age of the sperm can live much longer because they can survive in warm or wet environments. However, the possibility of sperm cells to swim and get into the female reproductive tract is very small.
Meanwhile in the body of a woman, sperm can live up to five days depending on certain conditions, such as the acidity of the vagina. Because even though sexual intercourse without contraception is done not in the fertile period, there remains the possibility of pregnancy during sperm cell is alive.

Sperm Donor Beware
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Need to be aware of donor sperm, donor egg, donor embryo, the choice of gender in pregnancy without medical indication and pregnant deposit.
Research Center for Community-Based Services Reproductive Health and Infertility should further develop the technique preimplantation diagnosis (PGD) to select embiro good, for the sake of improving pregnancy and prevent birth defects, stem cells with the goal of treatment.
Soegiharto Soebijanto (64) confirms that, in a speech in the inaugural professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Saturday (05/06/2010) yesterday in Salemba, Jakarta.
"With the success already created artificial gametes is female sperm and female egg outside the country, is not impossible that this science will flourish in our land, and there will be demand for the homosex and lesbians want to have children of their partner. Rambu regulatory signs must be prepared before the problem arises, "he said.
In the inaugural speech titled IVF in Indonesia The Present and Future, reveals, the number of fertile couples in Indonesia about 40 million, there are around 6 million couples are infertile. About 30 percent of cases of infertility requiring IVF service or assisted reproductive techniques (TRB).
According Soegiharto, the cost of IVF services in Indonesia around 50 million, far less expensive than IVF abroad, which reaches around Rp369 million in the United States, Rp360 million in the UK, and around Rp220 million in Scandinavia. Costs will increase with increasing age of the wife. Of course this data is useful to prevent people should not look for IVF services to overseas.
Success rate at the age of 37 years was 27.4 percent and there was no live birth rate in the age group above 48 years. The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) in 2008 concluded that, in the United States live birth rate was 41.3 percent and 47.3 cycles per ET for pe rsen psien under the age of 35 years.
While the success of the procedure performed 3 live birth rate is 45-53 percent, after the procedure done 6 times TRB live birth rate 51-71 percent. Live birth rate in Indonesia reached 25 percent, he said.
One effort to improve the results by treatment prior to stimulation, with the provision of contraceptive pills. Contraceptive pill, continued Soegiharto, consisting of estrogen alone, progesterone alone or a combination of both. This initial treatment will suppress the production of endogenous hormones, so an increase in response to the stimulation drugs.
Vitamin A intake
Besides Soegiharto Soebijanto, also delivered the inaugural speech as professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the Faculty of Medicine University, is Andrijono 57. He delivered a speech titled Improving Nutritional Status of Vitamin A One particular Sati Improving Reproductive Health Through the efforts of prevention Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary hydatidiform mole.
Andrijono say, prevention is the prevention of primary hydatidiform mole is very important, because the primary pencehagan provide an effective and cheap success. Although to establish that the intake of vitamin A as primary prevention is still needed strengthening in subsequent studies.
"However, efforts to improve the intake of vitamin A is one of langah an easy, safe, and inexpensive to prepare for pregnancy is excellent," he said.

Five-Hour Cycling Disturb Sperm?
NEW YORK, KOMPAS.com - Those who have an active lifestyle with regular exercise would always feel how it impacts and benefits for health. For men, in particular, exercise has been believed to help boost and maintain stamina.
However, when associated with fertility levels, the sport was not necessarily the same applies. Research in the United States indicated that exercise does not give any effect to both the quality and quantity of sperm in most men.
Even so, there is one exception, namely those who like cycling. Research data shows that men who ride bikes at least five hours a week appeared to have fewer sperm and sperm numbers on the lower than their more sedentary.
"The tendency is that most types of exercise had no effect on semen quality. Only a few specific types of sports and sports that require a high level of intensity that has an impact," said Dr. Lauren Wise, researchers from Boston University, USA.
Previous research indicates that the level of competitive athletes suspected of having problems with sperm quality. To assess the truth of the relationship with sperm quality sport, experts conducted a study involving thousands of men. The research report was published in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
In his research, researchers monitored 2200 men who did the examination of sperm in the three fertility clinics. The respondents were asked about general health and physical activity. To eliminate the influence of other factors which might affect the health of the sperm so that the sport became an independent factor, researchers used statistical tools to move the influence of multivitamin use, body weight, blood pressure, choice of underwear, and so on.
From the results of the research revealed that men who exercise regularly, even fairly diligent in-inclined do not have a problem with the quality or quantity of sperm than those who never exercise.
However, when looking specifically at the type of sport, a man who claimed to regularly cycling five hours in a week tend to have the quality and quantity of sperm are low.
Among men who did not exercise regularly, 23 percent had low sperm counts and 27 percent have poor sperm motility. Among men who cycled at least five hours a week, nearly 31 percent had low sperm counts and sperm count by 40 percent unfavorable.
Wise reminded, too early to say if the activity of cycling on a regular basis can cause problems with sperm. "It needs to perform further studies to reinforce these findings before then considered to be the cause," he explained.
According to him, it is possible that male respondents were included in this study do not represent the general population. Because the male respondents are those who went to the clinic so that the most likely to have problems with sperm.

According to the data in the UK, in 2009 there were 1615 cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or IVF derived from donor sperm and result in 585 births. In 2010 there was an increase 21 percent by 1963 the number of IVF cycles.
"The women realize their biological clock is ticking. Hour biological men and women are different. These women are aware they can not wait to have children until their dream man emerged," said Prof.Geeta Nargund, head of reproductive medicine from St.George 's University Hospital in London.
According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) in all types of IVF there was an increase of 5.9 percent in 2010. Therapies include IVF and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is performed by injecting a single sperm into an egg cell.
Of all the IVF treatment, 74 percent use their own eggs and 17 percent use another woman's eggs are frozen. About three percent use donor eggs and six percent use donor insemination.
The average age of women who have IVF is 35 years old. About 4 percent are women aged 43-44 years, and two percent of women aged over 45 years.
In Indonesia alone IVF procedure should only be carried out to married couples who fail to do pregnancy in a natural way due to problems in the oviduct blockage or problem in poor sperm quality. With ethical reasons IVF technique that uses a sperm and egg donation is not permitted.

Declining sperm quality in Age 35
Kompas.com - Age does affect the quality and quantity of sperm, but apparently the decline can be started since he was 30 years old. Of course it will affect fertility.
Dr.Qian-Xi Zhu and his team from the Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research discovered the phenomenon in Chinese male seminal fluid. More than 1,000 men aged 20-60 years to donate their sperm to analyze the amount of semen produced, the sperm count, movement, and whether the sperm is normal.
Compared with men aged 20-29 years, 35-year-old man has the ability to move lower. Though the movement of sperm is essential to the process of egg fertilization. Interestingly decreased ability of sperm movement that has begun since the age of 30 years and continues to decline each year.
"Motalitas or swimming ability of sperm decreases with age and it will make them difficult to impregnate," said Andrew Wyrobek, a specialist sperm from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who was not involved in this study.
The number of live sperm in semen is also less in the more mature men. For example, in men aged 20-29 years approximately 73 percent of sperm in the semen sample is alive, while only 65 percent live sperm in the semen of men aged 50-60 years.
After the age of 30 years, sperm counts have also reduced the normal physical. Compared with men aged 20 years, those aged over 50 years has only 16 percent of normal-looking sperm.

Cell Phone Radiation Damage of sperm cells
Kompas.com - voice ringing phone in your pocket could be a danger alarm for sperm cells. According to a study that found dangerous mobile phone radiation on sperm quality.
Some research has shown men mobile users have fewer sperm count, slower moving and damaged, compared with men who did not use the phone. But actually, the problem is the storage cell.
About two months ago researchers from South Africa found the man who brought his cell phone on your hip or in front pants pocket had sperm swim slower and also much less concentration. Both were very influential on a man's fertility.
Latest study on the effects of radiation conducted by researchers from Turkey to the subject of human sperm cells in the cup fed stained cell phone radiation exposure for one hour. Exposure causes the sperm to be abnormal, so that the difficulty reaching the egg.
"You should be aware the results of this research by a man who was still in the reproductive age and used to put a cell phone in his trouser pocket," says Joel Moskowitz, Ph.D., director of the University of California, Berkeley Center for familiy and Community Health.
Another study conducted on mice also gave alarming results. The researchers put the mice in special cages with mobile phones placed 2 inches from the bottom of the cage.
Once adjacent to the cell phone 6 hours every day for 18 weeks, the researchers found the percentage of live sperm decreased 25 percent, from 70 percent previously. Besides sperm cells the mice were also stuck together so it can not fertilize an egg.
Moskowitz said the results of this study have not yet reached a conclusion because the mechanism of radiation on the changes in sperm cells is unknown.
One theory says the phone will heat up when in use so that it will increase the temperature around the male genital organs when stored in a pants pocket.
Another hypothesis states that it is concerned with electromagnetic frequencies emitted by cell phones. Both the cell body or cell phones emit electromagnetic frequency and high frequency radiation will be absorbed into the body through a network thereby increasing the molecular motion in the cell body.

Some research has shown men mobile users have fewer sperm count, slower moving and damaged, compared with men who did not use the phone. But actually, the problem is the storage cell.
About two months ago researchers from South Africa found the man who brought his cell phone on your hip or in front pants pocket had sperm swim slower and also much less concentration. Both were very influential on a man's fertility.
Latest study on the effects of radiation conducted by researchers from Turkey to the subject of human sperm cells in the cup fed stained cell phone radiation exposure for one hour. Exposure causes the sperm to be abnormal, so that the difficulty reaching the egg.
"You should be aware the results of this research by a man who was still in the reproductive age and used to put a cell phone in his trouser pocket," says Joel Moskowitz, Ph.D., director of the University of California, Berkeley Center for familiy and Community Health.
Another study conducted on mice also gave alarming results. The researchers put the mice in special cages with mobile phones placed 2 inches from the bottom of the cage.
Once adjacent to the cell phone 6 hours every day for 18 weeks, the researchers found the percentage of live sperm decreased 25 percent, from 70 percent previously. Besides sperm cells the mice were also stuck together so it can not fertilize an egg.
Moskowitz said the results of this study have not yet reached a conclusion because the mechanism of radiation on the changes in sperm cells is unknown.
One theory says the phone will heat up when in use so that it will increase the temperature around the male genital organs when stored in a pants pocket.
Another hypothesis states that it is concerned with electromagnetic frequencies emitted by cell phones. Both the cell body or cell phones emit electromagnetic frequency and high frequency radiation will be absorbed into the body through a network thereby increasing the molecular motion in the cell body.
