Does immobile sperm refer to dead sperm?

For a couple, being able to conceive successfully is very important. When the man is preparing to have a baby, couples often have difficulty getting pregnant. At this time, both husband and wife should go to the hospital for examination at the same time. Some men will have infertility, especially men's sperm will have various problems, including sperm immobility. So does the immobility of men's sperm mean that it is dead?

Does immobile sperm refer to dead sperm?

There are two types of sperm immobility. One is dead sperm; the other is sperm that is alive but has no motility. Staining can be used to determine whether the sperm is alive or not.

The disease is mostly caused by poor testicular spermatogenesis and sperm development disorders.

Whether he smokes or drinks, what kind of work he does, whether he has had orchitis or testicular trauma, whether he has varicocele.

Chinese and Western medicine treat this disease in different ways and with different effects. Western medicine treats it by supplementing trace elements or vitamins, but the effect is average. Chinese medicine treats it by tonifying the kidney and replenishing qi, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, and clearing away dampness and heat. The effect is very good and there are no side effects. You can see a Chinese medicine doctor locally, first clarify the symptoms, and then you can regulate and treat it by tonifying the kidney and replenishing qi, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, and clearing away dampness and heat.

During treatment, abstain from smoking and drinking, have a regular sex life, pay attention to rest, strengthen exercise, and eat less spicy food.

Generally, it takes one to three months of treatment to recover.

In the routine analysis of semen, there are two very important items, one is the sperm survival rate and mortality rate, and the other is the sperm motility, which is divided into fast linear activity (grade A), slow linear activity (grade B), wiggling in place (grade C) and immobility (grade D). Some people often confuse the former sperm mortality rate with the latter immobile sperm count.

To determine whether sperm is dead, sperm staining is required, and the commonly used stain is eosin Y

Staining method: the membrane of dead sperm cells ruptures, the contents are released, and bind to eosin Y, so they are stained red; live sperm are not stained.

To judge the motility of sperm, one only needs to observe its activity under an optical microscope. The flagella on the tail of immobile sperm are inactive.

Some people often think that sperm that does not move is dead sperm, which is wrong. For example, if a person lies on the bed and falls asleep, he does not move, but can we say that he is dead? The same is true for sperm. Dead sperm does not move.

But immobile sperm are not necessarily dead sperm. They may still be alive but have lost their motility.
