Event Summary

A new study by researchers from the University of Oxford, including Margaret Pemberton, İrem Sepil, and Krish Sanghvi, suggests that frequent ejaculation may improve sperm quality. The study, which analyzed data from 115 published studies involving nearly 55,000 men, found that sperm stored during sexual abstinence deteriorates in quality, experiencing decreased motility, viability, and increased DNA damage. This challenges existing advice from the World Health Organization regarding abstinence before sperm sample collection for fertility treatments like IVF. The findings indicate that using freshly ejaculated sperm could significantly boost fertility outcomes.
