What exactly does male asthenozoospermia mean?

Patient's question:

My husband has been diagnosed with asthenozoospermia for a long time, and he is very distressed. Could you please ask the doctor, what exactly does it mean for a man to have asthenozoospermia?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, after sperm mature, they need to rely on the effects of various active substances excreted by accessory glands to further obtain energy, maintaining their ability to move forward with focus and vitality. If organs such as the epididymis and accessory glands develop infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, or testicular dysfunction and growth and development disorders, etc., they are sufficient to weaken or completely lose the forward motility of sperm. This condition is called asthenozoospermia. Confirming asthenozoospermia is quite straightforward. Currently, most hospitals in China conduct examinations according to international standards, with sperm motility test results clearly defined, categorized into four grades: A, B, C, and D.
