Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask what methods can treat asthenozoospermia? I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for over three years and are planning to get married. My family asked me to undergo pre-marital health check-up, and the result showed that I have asthenozoospermia. The doctor said my sperm motility is low, which may affect future fertility. Could you please tell me what are the methods that can treat asthenozoospermia?Doctor's answer:
In cases of asthenozoospermia, sperm lack the ability to move forward, making it difficult for them to pass through the cervical canal and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tubes for fertilization with the egg, thereby reducing fertility. Common causes of asthenozoospermia include: 1. Incomplete maturation or damage to the spermatogenic epithelium in the testes, resulting in 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 become unfavorable for sperm activity and survival. If antisperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, rendering them non-motile. It is recommended that you seek a specialized hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. Do not miss the best opportunity for treatment.
