Patient's question:
Now that we've been married for two years, we've never had a baby, and the elders in the family keep urging us to have a child soon. However, we haven't taken any contraceptive measures for a year, and we still haven't become pregnant. My wife suggested going to the county hospital for a check-up. After all the tests were completed, it showed that everything was normal with her, but my sperm motility was low, with only 10% in the A grade. I'd like to ask, what are the causes of male semen liquefaction disorders?Doctor's answer:
Reason 1: Abnormal semen liquefaction:Non-liquefaction of semen or high viscosity is one of the causes of male infertility. A very important factor may be that it affects the motility of sperm, leading to male infertility.
Reason 2: Varicocele:
Varicocele can lead to male infertility through multiple pathways. It not only affects sperm production but also reduces sperm vitality.
Reason 3: Infection:
When acute or chronic inflammation occurs in the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, or prostate, it can reduce sperm motility, thereby causing semen non-liquefaction.
Reason 4: Chromosomal abnormalities:
Chromosomal abnormalities are a cause of non-liquefaction of sperm. Deformations in autosomes and sex chromosomes not only affect sperm quantity but also impact sperm survival rates and forward motility.
