When an egg and sperm fertilise, it leads to a successful pregnancy. This means, sperm and egg are two vital things of the reproductive system that are responsible for bringing in a new life. Any problems with either of them can lead to failure of natural conception. Through this interesting blog, IVF experts of the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad, Gunjan IVF World try to explain to people which type of sperm are good swimmers.

What are sperm?

“Sperm are the reproductive cells that are found in the whitish-grey liquid, commonly known as semen. Sperm is ejaculated from the male reproductive organ after reaching an orgasm. Sperm upon ejaculated within the vagina is expected to swim through the uterus, reach the fallopian tubes to fertilise an egg. Which means, they have to be great swimmers,” says Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant and Centre In-Charge of Gunjan IVF World, the best IVF clinic in Janakpuri. Gunjan IVF World has three other highly advanced clinics in Ghaziabad, Meerut and Noida.

Which type of sperm are better swimmers?

“An interesting question that we are always asked is which type of sperm are good swimmers? There are generally two types of sperm – Y chromosome and X chromosome. Coming to the answer… All sperm are good swimmers. But, Y chromosomes are better swimmers,” stated Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder, of Gunjan IVF World – two times winner of the best IVF chain North India award by ETHealthworld.

“Y chromosome make boys. They also contain less DNA than the X chromosome that is for girls. That is why the Y sperm are faster swimmers in viscous liquids like the cervical mucous present in a woman’s cervix,” commented Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist Noida and Consultant at the best IVF centre in Noida – Gunjan IVF World, who else!

“But the X chromosome despite being a bit slower is fitter, contains more DNA and has a longer life compared to Y chromosome,” added Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant at the best IVF clinic in Indirapuram – Gunjan IVF World.
