Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to inquire about the methods available for treating asthenozoospermia. I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for over three years and are preparing to get married. My family suggested getting pre-marital 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:
In cases of asthenozoospermia, sperm lack the ability to move forward, making it difficult for them to pass through the cervical canal and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tubes for fertilization with an egg, thus leading to reduced fertility. Common causes of asthenozoospermia include:1. Incomplete maturation or damage to the spermatogenic epithelium in the testes, resulting in poor sperm quality and weak motility;
2. Low seminal fluid volume;
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, which can negatively affect sperm activity and survival due to imbalances in pH, oxygen supply, nutrients, and metabolism. If antisperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, rendering them inactive.
It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. Do not miss the best opportunity for treatment.
