Patient's question:
Can 98% abnormal sperm be used for artificial insemination? My wife is perfectly fine! We have been trying to conceive for a year. After taking medication for three months and rechecking, the abnormal sperm rate is still high! Can we still do artificial insemination?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The is too high, which is not recommended for pregnancy, including artificial insemination. The causes of abnormal sperm syndrome include urinary and genital tract infections, orchitis complicated by mumps, epididymal tuberculosis, varicocele, etc. They can all lead to an increase in abnormal sperm, typically double-headed sperm, affecting sperm quality. The use of hormones or certain chemical drugs, such as anticancer drugs, reserpine, busulfan, and furan derivatives, can cause sperm to develop immaturely. Radiation exposure to the reproductive organs can cause mutations in sperm. Long-term high fever in the scrotum, chronic alcoholism (especially high-concentration strong alcohol), can all cause sperm to deform. It is recommended that you undergo further tests to clarify the issue and receive timely, targeted treatment. Wishing you good health!
