This
test evaluates whether a man's sperm can travel through cervical mucus. It is
one of the test done to determine the cause of infertility and whether it is related
to a problem with the man's sperm or a woman's mucous.
During the woman's ovulation,
samples of her cervical mucus and the man's semen are collected for this test.
In the lab, the semen is added to the mucus in a tube. After sometime, the distance
that the sperm have traveled is measured.
The mucus penetration test is also done
(a) with a donor sperm and the woman's mucus or (b) with donor mucus and the man's
sperm, to see whether the problem is with the woman's mucus or the man's sperm.
If both the man's sperm and the donor sperm do not penetrate the woman's mucous,
the problem is likely to be with the woman's mucous. If the man's sperm do not
penetrate while the donor sperm can penetrate a woman's mucous the problem is
likely to be with the man's sperm.

Last here months back, I feel itchiness in my penis when intercourse with my wife. After one month I have seen rash in my penis head. First time it is itching but now it is silence.
What is the best solution for me?
It seems there was a bing hole in my right ear drum and I had a mild earing loss (conductive losses). As advised by the ENT Surgeon, I underwent CT scan too. He suggested me to undergo surgery by which my mastoid bone has to be open and all infection there has to be removed. I had the hole in the ear drum for the past 25 years and so far I had no problem except mild hearing loss. No ear discharge for the past 15 years. Even earlier also I used to have ear discharge very rarely. ENT surgeon suggested me to undergo the surgery what is called Mastoidectomy. I unable to take a call whether I should undergo surgery now or postpone to a time when I notice any further problem. I would like to know whether the problem gets aggravated if I do not undergo surgery. Whether it prevents further deterioation and improves the hearing? Kindly advise.
Ans:
hi babu, as u told that you have a hole in your ear drum, which is a connection between the external and the middle ear, thus making the middle ear prone to repeated infections. middle ear infections can become very severe when they become chronic which can also lead to permanent and conductive hearing loss. so it is advisable for you to not to wait and undergo mastoidectomy. gud luck.
