How does poor sperm quality affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My husband has poor sperm quality. The test results are as follows: Total count 204, density 24.9M/mL, total sperm count 74.6M, percentage 100% A 17, density 2.1, total 6.2, percentage 8.3 B 17. Density 2.1, total 6.2, percentage 8.3 C 12, density 1.5, total 4.4, percentage 5.9 D 158. Density 19.3, total 57.8, percentage 77.5.
If I get pregnant in this situation, how will poor sperm quality affect pregnancy? Is the risk of the child being deformed or unhealthy high?

Doctor's answer:

This is the impact. Common causes of asthenozoospermia include: 1. Incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the seminiferous epithelium in the testes, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility; 2. Low seminal fluid volume; 3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolism are all unfavorable for sperm activity and survival. If antisperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby losing their motility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
