Patient's question:
What should I do about asthenozoospermia? Last year, the check-up showed only low sperm density, but a few days ago, the test revealed asthenozoospermia. I really want to have a child now, and the doctor said it's impossible with the current condition. How should I take care of myself? What should I do about asthenozoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, asthenozoospermia refers to a condition where the parameters of forward-moving sperm (grades a and b) in semen are less than 50% or the motility of grade a sperm is less than 25%. Asthenozoospermia is also known as low sperm motility. Factors involving asthenozoospermia include acute or chronic inflammation of the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and prostate in the reproductive tract or gonads, varicocele, immune and endocrine causes, and chromosomal abnormalities.
