Patient's question:
My husband used to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said he had weak sperm, and it was quite severe. After that, he has been taking medication and undergoing treatment. Now he feels much better. So, I'd like to ask what are the standards for severe and mild sperm weakness, and what are the common symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Weak sperm syndrome is divided into mild, moderate, and severe degrees. Among them, mild weak sperm syndrome refers to a sperm grade (a) of 10% or more but less than 25%, while the combined percentage of a and b grades is less than 50%. Severe weak sperm syndrome is characterized by a sperm grade (a) count of 0, and the combined percentage of b and c grades does not exceed 30%. In daily life, there may be no significant symptoms. If the weak sperm syndrome is caused by varicocele, there may be some symptoms such as testicular pain or groin discomfort.
