Patient's question:
Hello doctor. Because I wanted to have a child, I went to the hospital for a routine semen analysis. The results showed that my sperm count and quality were both poor, and the chances of my wife getting pregnant were relatively low. There is also a possibility that the embryo quality may be affected due to poor sperm quality. I would like to consult on how to improve the quantity and quality of my sperm.Doctor's answer:
Hello, low sperm motility should be noted for the possibility of asthenozoospermia. Asthenozoospermia refers to a condition where the percentage of progressively motile sperm (grades a and b) in semen parameters is less than 50% or the percentage of grade a motile sperm is less than 25%. Male infertility caused by low sperm motility accounts for about 30%. There are many causes of low sperm motility, but the most common ones include: excessively high or low environmental temperature for sperm, varicocele, inflammation and infection of the reproductive tract, immune suppression, endocrine disorders, some drugs that affect sperm production, radiation, as well as smoking and alcohol intoxication, etc.Guidance:
Therefore, it is recommended to further examine the underlying causes of the disease, such as seminal plasma biochemistry, semen cytological analysis, and a healthy check-up of the reproductive organs, etc. After identifying the specific cause and condition of the disease, follow medical advice to actively treat and improve fertility.
