Can deformed sperm fertilize?

Patient's question:

I registered for marriage with my boyfriend, and we need to have a pre-marital health check. I've never had one before, so I'm a bit worried. My health is fine, and I don't have any serious illnesses, but I'm still nervous. The check results came back, and my boyfriend's sperm were abnormal. I'm really worried about it. I want to ask if abnormal sperm can lead to pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

When the abnormal rate of male sperm exceeds 20% of the total sperm count, it can cause infertility. However, there is still a certain chance of conception. Conception under such conditions may lead to consequences such as infertility, habitual miscarriage, fetal malformation, and neonatal mental retardation. Generally, it is necessary to wait until treatment is fully effective before attempting to conceive. If the abnormal rate is high, even if pregnancy occurs, it is prone to miscarriage.
It is recommended that you seek timely examination and treatment at a regular hospital. If you want to have children, it is best to start treatment as soon as possible. Wishing you good health!
