Does a low sperm count also cause male infertility?

Patient's question:

Because both my wife and I really want a child, but after we tried hard for six months, we didn't get any results, so we went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The results showed that my sperm count was too low, which might be the reason for my male infertility. Does a low sperm count also cause male infertility?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to undergo effective and thorough examinations under the guidance of professional doctors to promptly identify the main causes and then receive timely and targeted treatment. Male asthenozoospermia is the most common issue in male infertility, so there is no need to be overly concerned. Asthenozoospermia refers to a total proportion of progressively motile sperm in the semen below 50% or a number of rapidly forward-moving sperm below 5%. However, the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is prone to occur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a proper diet during the treatment period.
