Does semen quality problems cause mental retardation?

Patient's question:

My child reacts much slower than children, but sometimes he is quite fast. When checked, it was diagnosed as mental retardation. Please ask if semen quality issues can lead to mental retardation.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the quality of semen has issues, which can have a certain impact on conception. It is likely to result in infertility again. Since you have already conceived, it is truly a rare occurrence. Regarding how it might affect the child's intelligence, it is impossible to predict or foresee. If there is a significant impact, most cases would likely lead to spontaneous abortion.
Currently, there are signs of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that you use progesterone to support fetal development. Avoid strenuous exercise and get adequate rest. If the embryo grows and develops normally in the later stages, it indicates that the problem is not severe. Pay close attention to undergoing regular prenatal check-ups and thorough screening for congenital abnormalities.
