Can men with low sperm count and poor quality sperm do IVF?

Patient's question:

I would like to ask if men with low sperm count and poor quality sperm can also undergo in vitro fertilization. What is the success rate, and can the gender of the child be controlled?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the common causes of asthenozoospermia include:
1. Incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the seminiferous epithelium in the testes, leading to 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 metabolic breakdown may be unfavorable for sperm movement and survival. If anti-sperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby reducing their motility.
Since the causes may differ, the treatment methods will also vary. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for a thorough examination. Based on the examination results, under the guidance of a doctor, you should receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health.
