Patient's question:
Please ask, today's semen check (half a small cup of wine was drunk yesterday noon), manual check sperm vitality rate is 60%, activity is generally, instrument check sperm motility rate is 46.94%. I want to ask the following result has an impact on pregnancy? Sperm vitality rate and sperm motility rate should reach how many to be relatively easy to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Normal sperm motility should be greater than 60%. Your condition falls under asthenozoospermia, which makes it difficult to conceive. There are many causes of low sperm motility, and it is important to identify them one by one before treatment. Currently, infectious factors are relatively common. For example, inflammation in the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate can cause seminal plasma abnormalities, affecting factors such as pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolism, all of which are unfavorable for sperm activity and survival, leading to low sperm motility. These infections include ureaplasma urealyticum, chlamydia trachomatis, and mycoplasma genitalium, among others. Varicocele is also a common cause. Due to venous blood reflux obstruction in the testicular area, hypoxia occurs. Additionally, elevated levels of prostaglandins and serotonin in venous blood can reduce sperm motility. Deficiency of trace elements, especially zinc, can also impair sperm motility. If there is no obvious cause, this element should be tested. When testicular development is impaired, such as incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the spermatogenic epithelium, sperm quality and motility will also be poor. Some men have very low semen volume, failing to meet normal requirements, leaving little room for sperm activity, which can also result in limited sperm motility. If anti-sperm antibodies are produced in the body, they can cause sperm agglutination or immobilization, leading to low sperm motility and infertility.
