Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for three years, but she hasn't been able to get pregnant yet. She's been very anxious about it and keeps asking me to go for a checkup with her. However, due to the issue of male pride, I've never gone. Could you please explain what D-grade sperm means?Doctor's answer:
Sperm motility grade D indicates poor sperm motility, with sperm only moving locally. Sperm with rapid forward movement (grade A) and those with slightly slower forward movement (grade B) constitute less than 50% or grade A sperm constitute less than 25%, all are collectively referred to as grade D. If you are considering what D-grade sperm means, it may be considered as asthenozoospermia. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a reputable hospital as soon as possible to identify the cause and receive timely treatment. Grade D sperm refers to the vitality of sperm, which indicates fertility. Sperm vitality is tested based on three parameters: quality, quantity, and time. Sperm vitality is divided into four grades.
