Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old, had nephritis in childhood, otherwise in good health. This time's semen test results:Color: Grayish-white, pH value: 7.4, liquefaction time: non-liquefied, viscosity: normal
Total sperm count (per ml): 329, A (rapid forward movement) (%): 13.98
Total motile sperm count (per ml): 149, B (slow or sluggish forward movement) (%): 17.02
Sperm density (per ml): 47.57, C (non-forward movement) (%): 14.29
Sperm motility rate: 45.29, D (immobile): 54.71
Reference values: Motility: A+B > 50% or A > 25%
Sperm morphology and staining analysis:
Counted sperm:
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your report, your sperm motility is insufficient, and both the motility rate and density are inadequate, indicating a condition of oligoasthenozoospermia. Low sperm motility is also known as asthenozoospermia, which refers to a condition where the percentage of progressively motile sperm (grades a and b) in the semen is less than 50% or the percentage of grade a motile sperm is less than 25%. There are many causes that can lead to low sperm motility, but the most common ones include: prolonged abstinence (increased number of dead sperm, decreased sperm viability), excessively high or low environmental temperatures for sperm, varicocele, reproductive tract inflammation and infection, immune suppression, endocrine disorders, certain medications that affect sperm production, radiation, as well as smoking and alcohol intoxication, etc. It is recommended that you undergo a comprehensive etiological examination and actively treat the condition based on the identified causes. Wishing you good health!
