Patient's question:
My husband has been diagnosed with asthenozoospermia for a long time, and we haven't had any children. We feel very distressed. Could you please ask the doctor, what are the common clinical manifestations of asthenozoospermia?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of asthenozoospermia are not obvious, and patients are usually diagnosed with the condition based on semen analysis results. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that this condition is related to "cold semen" and "cold essence" and can be treated with medications such as Miao Ling Sheng Jing San. Modern medicine attributes low sperm motility to endocrine factors, complications of systemic diseases, and reproductive system infections. TCM holds that the primary causes and pathological mechanisms of asthenozoospermia are deficiency of kidney yang, imbalance of both kidney yin and yang, and internal accumulation of damp-heat. For mixed asthenozoospermia and oligozoospermia, treatment focuses on nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, dredging the kidneys, strengthening the spleen and boosting qi, invigorating kidney yang, and clearing heat and resolving dampness. In addition to symptomatic treatment for male urological conditions, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper eating habits and maintaining a positive mood.
