How IVF clinics create work for themselves by issuing incorrect and misleading semen analysis report

 


Since about 10 to 15% of married couples are infertile, one would think that IVF clinics would be quite busy treating infertile couples. However, the truth is that because there is so much competition , and because IVF treatment is so expensive , these IVF clinics are very busy competing for the same set of patients .

One slimy strategy a notorious chain of corporate IVF clinics has done is to make patients infertile, by issuing a false semen analysis report, which no one can challenge. Here’s how they scam patients.

They report every sperm sample they analyse as having teratozoospermia (abnormal spermmorphology) ! There is no documentation  and no evidence , because they don’t provide a stained slide of the abnormal sperm – it’s just a computerized printout. Their racket is to claim that nearly every man who comes to them has less than 4% normal sperms. This high percentage of abnormal sperm morphology is diagnosed as teratozoospermia . The patient is told this is the reason for their infertility , and they need IVF/ICSI treatment to have a baby.

The truth is that checking for sperm morphology properly is a very complex test , and most lab technicians are not capable of doing it properly .

This is why they report everyone as having teratozoospermia, so they can do IVF/ICSI for every couple who comes to them.

This is why it’s so important for patients to be well informed , so they can protect themselves from these rapacious predatory IVF clinics .

If any lab claims you have teratozoospermia, ,insist that they give you the stained slide, so you can get a second opinion from another lab !
