Patient's question:
I am 48 years old this year and want a second child. After abstaining from sex for 13 days, will the sperm quality be affected? Will it reduce the chances of conception?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the reasons for low sperm motility include:1. Incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the seminiferous tubule epithelium, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility.
2. Low seminal fluid volume.
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as inflammation in the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate, which are all unfavorable for sperm activity and survival. If antisperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby reducing their motility.
