Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about the methods needed to treat asthenozoospermia. I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for over three years and are now planning to get married. My family suggested getting pre-marital health check-up, and the result showed that I have asthenozoospermia. The doctor said my sperm motility is low, which might affect future fertility. Could you please tell me what methods are available to treat 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 result in reduced vitality. In cases of asthenozoospermia, sperm lack the strength to move forward, making it difficult for them to penetrate the cervical canal, uterine cavity, and reach the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg, thereby causing 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.
