The impact of asthenospermia on male fertility
Asthenospermia is one of the common causes of male infertility, which reduces the quantity, quality and motility of male sperm, thereby affecting the possibility of pregnancy. The following describes the impact of asthenozoospermia on male fertility and its treatment methods from four aspects: sperm quantity, sperm quality, sperm motility and the ability to conceive.
Sperm count
People with asthenozoospermia have low sperm counts, and some even have almost no sperm. In this way, the movement speed and vitality of sperm in the vas deferens will also be affected, thereby affecting the combination of sperm and egg. At this time, symptoms such as impotence and ejaculation disorders will appear. For cases of low sperm count, sperm quality examination and sperm extraction (TESE) can be used to help patients improve the possibility of pregnancy.
Sperm quality
People with asthenozoospermia also have poor sperm quality, including morphological abnormalities, that is, sperm with abnormal shape and structure, so that the sperm cannot penetrate the egg shell normally, affecting the ability to fertilize. In addition, quality indicators such as sperm size, color, vitality and motility will also affect fertility. At this time, ART assisted reproductive technologies can be used to help patients improve sperm quality, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte transplantation (ICSI).
Sperm motility
Asthenospermia may cause sperm to be unable to travel to the egg, and low sperm motility is also one of them. Currently, some methods to improve sperm motility, such as dietary adjustments, maintaining good sleep and rest, appropriate exercise, etc., can help improve sperm motility. Patients can also choose oral medications or undergo some physical or chemical treatments to improve sperm motility after obtaining medical advice.
Affects the ability to conceive
Asthenospermia does affect a man\’s ability to conceive, but it does not necessarily mean that he is completely infertile, nor does the amount of it affect his ability to conceive. After determining the cause of the disease, the doctor can help the patient develop a treatment plan according to the disease. This may not only improve the patient\’s sperm quantity and quality, but also help increase the number of sperm in the vas deferens and improve the ability to conceive.
Conclusion
Asthenospermia affects male fertility mainly in three aspects: sperm quantity, sperm quality and motility. However, the disease alone is not enough to affect male fertility problems. Personal health and lifestyle also have a significant impact on fertility. Men with asthenospermia can improve their fertility by adhering to a reasonable lifestyle, sperm quality improvement programs recommended by doctors, and modern assisted reproductive technologies.
