Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about the methods available for treating asthenozoospermia. I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for over three years and we are planning to get married. My family suggested getting premarital health check-ups, and the results showed that I have asthenozoospermia. The doctor said my sperm motility is low, which could affect future fertility. Could you please tell me what treatment methods are available for asthenozoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Excessive local temperature in the testicles can easily lead to a decrease in sperm production, while inflammation of the seminal vesicles and prostate gland can cause a decline in sperm vitality. In cases of asthenozoospermia, sperm lack the strength to move forward, making it difficult for them to penetrate the cervical canal and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tubes and fertilize the egg, resulting in reduced fertility. In laboratory tests, a diagnosis of asthenozoospermia (low sperm motility and count) may be made. The specific costs will depend on the patient's test results, as treatment methods vary among hospitals and the skill levels of doctors also differ. It is best to have a check-up at a reputable and professional hospital for proper diagnosis and treatment.
