Boys and girls at Baosheng have always been a major concern for many families. Although there are not many differences between giving birth to boys and girls nowadays, there are still many people who have practical needs for giving birth to boys. But no matter what kind of folk prescription it is, it cannot guarantee the so-called birth of a boy, or even the "transfer" of a baby. Only a few techniques using scientific methods can guarantee the birth of a boy. Sperm separation is a relatively traditional gender selection technique, so is it accurate to use it for giving birth to a boy? How much does it cost to perform sperm separation surgery?

1、 What is sperm separation surgery?

The main purpose of sperm separation is to separate active and non active sperm, and to select the fetal gender before pregnancy (embryo transfer). Although the purpose of this method is only to prevent offspring from developing sexually related genetic diseases, with the development of society, more and more people are using it to choose whether to have boys or girls. Actually, there is currently no method for 100% separation of X and Y sperm. So theoretically speaking, in Thai IVF sperm separation, Y sperm runs faster due to its small mass, so the probability of Y sperm separating first (running faster) is higher. Because the gender of the fetus is determined by the sperm of the fertilized egg. Therefore, sperm with the X chromosome will produce a female fetus, while sperm with the Y chromosome will produce a male fetus. Semen contains approximately 50% of X sperm cells and 50% of Y sperm cells.

2、 Is it accurate to have a boy through sperm separation surgery?

Sperm separation, as an excellent reproductive technique, can achieve good results in most cases. But in fact, there is currently no way to 100% separate X and Y sperm. In theory, the quality of Y sperm is smaller and it runs faster, so the probability of separating Y sperm from sperm is higher. Boys and girls are equal probability events, and the probability of sperm separation giving birth to boys is not 100%. Currently, formal medical institutions do not have such operations. Sperm separation was first developed by an American institution, but this method is generally only used to prevent the occurrence of gender related genetic diseases in the next generation, rather than to control the birth of boys and girls. Currently, formal medical institutions do not have such operations. Many irregular medical treatments are deceptive and have no definite basis. Moreover, this operation does not comply with national laws and regulations.

3、 How much does sperm separation cost?

Sperm separation technology does exist, but it is often used in animal husbandry. This method can increase the birth rate of a certain gender in young animals, but it is only an "increase in proportion". Humans are prohibited from using, and boys cannot be born. Moreover, the US FDA has restricted the clinical application of "XY sperm separation" in assisted reproductive medicine in the United States, and should not be deceived by unscrupulous intermediaries. The cost of sperm separation is generally around 3000-5000 yuan, and the specific price depends on the hospital level and fee standards. Sperm separation is not about separating xy sperm, but about separating healthy and unhealthy sperm, so it does not determine the role of giving birth to boys or girls. Finally, gender selection in the assisted reproductive industry is not allowed in China, so even if sperm separation can indeed separate xy sperm, there is no way to choose to have boys or girls in China. If you want to make gender selection, you can only do embryo screening, and you can only choose to do it abroad. The price is generally around 20000 to 50000 yuan.

Overall, sperm separation for gender selection is simply not reliable and theoretically possible. And the sperm separation techniques in hospitals are all used to separate ordinary sperm from other pathogens and pollutants, unlike other situations. This is a technology specifically designed to deal with male sperm collection with diseases, and has no effect on gender screening at all!
