title: The effect of ultrasound coupling gels on sperm motility in vitro.
abstract: Several of the most commonly used ultrasound coupling gels were found to adversely affect sperm motility. These gels should not be used in patients undergoing insemination immediately after a transvaginal pelvic ultrasonographic examination. Instead, we recommend the use of Proception Sperm Nutrient Douche, Nutrient Mixture F-10 (HAM), or nonlubrication of the condom-covered transducer.
