It is recommended to take a certain amount of folic acid daily, in adults the recommended dose is 2 mg and in pregnant women or who are planning to become pregnant in the near future is 4 mg. Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index 1. Folic acid 2. Benefits in pregnancy 3. Authors and collaborators Folic acid Folates are a type of vitamin B, B9 in particular, which can only be obtained through diet, or failing that, in artificially manufactured compounds, called in this case folic acid. This vitamin is available in most multivitamins, such as folic acid supplements only and in some foods: green leafy vegetables (Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, or asparagus), fruits (citrus fruits in general and bananas) and melons), legumes, milk, eggs, nuts, meat (especially liver and kidneys) and whole grains. Folic acid Among the functions performed by folic acid in the human body is involved in the production p...

A group of Italian researchers, led by Dr. Carlo Foresta, have focused on the elimination of papilloma virus in the semen of men who will undergo techniques of assisted human reproduction, since the risk of infection, both with The mother, as for the baby, is elevated with its consequent illnesses, which can be very serious.

According to a study published in the journal Human Reproduction, the genetic variation of a gene involved in the regulation of cholesterol can influence female fertility. To discover the variability of this gene, a blood test has been developed to determine female fertility, used in mice. Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index 1. Effect of cholesterol 2. Conclusion of the studies 3. Bibliography 4. Authors and collaborators Effect of cholesterol The presence of cholesterol in the bloodstream is influenced by several factors. Among them, several genetic factors involved in the appearance of cholesterol receptors. One of these receptors is the class B scavenger type 1 (SCARB1). A study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, has observed a relationship between the variation in the expression of the gene that codes for this receptor and infertility. Cholesterol In the study, carried out a...

The combined screening of the first trimester, also known as triple screening, is a non-invasive prenatal test that consists in performing an ultrasound and a blood test on the pregnant woman to rule out possible chromosomal alterations. As the name suggests, this test should be done around the 12th week of pregnancy , that is, at the end of the first trimester so that its result is reliable. One of its main advantages is that it has managed to reduce the number of amniocentesis and corial biopsies in pregnant women, tests that are invasive.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection that is transmitted by direct contact during sexual intercourse. Occasionally, HPV is asymptomatic and goes unnoticed, but it can have serious long-term consequences, such as cervical cancer. In this article, we will detail the different types of papillomavirus, how it is spread and the forms of prevention and treatment.

The oligospermia or oligozoospermia is a seminal alteration that consists of having a small amount of sperm in the ejaculated semen. Since oligospermia does not produce any symptoms that the male can recognize, it is difficult to find out about this condition until the couple tries to have a child and can not. The oligozoospermia can be diagnosed by a fertility specialist with these two simple tests: Seminogram also called spermiogram . It is used to evaluate the sperm parameters of the semen with a microscope. Blood analysis provides information on the levels of male sex hormones and if there is any alteration.

The main concern of a woman or couple trying to have a child is whether they can get pregnant, either naturally or with the help of assisted reproduction . Once the embryo has implanted in the womb and pregnancy is achieved, other doubts and concerns begin to arise in future parents, such as the sex the baby will have. The embryologist Rocio Diaz tells us how is the determination of male or female in fertilization, as well as the possibilities that exist in the selection to be a boy or a girl. Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index 1. What sex will my future child have? 2. Is it possible to choose the sex of the baby? 2.1. Selection of post-fertilization sex 2.2. Preferential sex selection 3. Legal issues of sex selection 4. Authors and collaborators What sex will my future child have? Fertilization of the embryo is the moment when the paternal sperm interacts with the maternal egg and both mix their genetic material....
