What are the chances of conception with malformed sperm?
human
My daughter, aged 37,and her husband, aged 41, have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now with no success. My daughter thinks it is because she was on birth control for over fifteen years, but her husband recently had his sperm tested and was told that he has a high percentage of malformed sperm. Also, he smokes, I think the problem is with the sperm. Do you agree?

Thank you for the questionAs you have rightly mentioned, healthy functional sperms are required for conception. Abstinence from smoking might improve the sperm morphology and increase chances of conception. when a person has high number of malformed sperms,the chances of conception reduces but it does not mean that the married couple cannot conceive since it requires one healthy sperm for fertilisation with ovum. Consult a fertility specialist who can provide a better insight into the issue and guide you accurately on how your daughter can improve her chances of conception
