Patient's question:
My husband is 40 years old this year. We have always wanted a child but haven't been able to conceive. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, they said his sperm motility is poor and it affects conception. Could you please tell me: What factors affect poor sperm motility?Doctor's answer:
Poor sperm motility may be related to the following reasons:1. Incomplete maturation of the testicular spermatogenic epithelium, or poor sperm quality and weak motility due to damage and thinning.
2. Low seminal fluid volume.
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolic breakdown are all unfavorable for sperm activity and survival.
To identify the cause of poor sperm motility, targeted treatment can then be administered.
