What are the causes of low sperm motility?

Low sperm motility is often caused by various reproductive diseases. For men, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, and salpingitis can affect sperm motility, so we should focus on scientific treatment and develop good living habits.

1. Reproductive system infection:

Acute or chronic inflammation of the male reproductive tract or reproductive glands such as the epididymis, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, and prostate will reduce the motility of sperm.

2. Abnormal semen liquefaction:

Semen that is not liquefied or has high viscosity is also one of the causes of male infertility.

3. Immune factors:

Antisperm antibodies also have a great impact on sperm motility. They will affect its binding with the tail of the sperm, hindering the vitality of male sperm, reducing motility and penetration ability.

4. Long-term abstinence:

If men do not ejaculate for a long time, it will lead to high sperm density, many dead sperms and poor sperm motility.

5. Varicose vein:

Due to the obstruction of blood circulation in the testicles and epididymis, the local temperature will rise, causing toxic substances to accumulate and sperm motility to decrease.

6. Other factors:

For example, the lack of trace elements such as zinc, copper, and magnesium in semen, smoking, drinking, and drug factors can lead to the occurrence of asthenospermia.

7. Quit smoking and drinking:

Not only do tobacco and alcohol harm men's physical health, they also have a certain impact on men's sperm, causing the quantity and quality of sperm to decrease, causing male sperm to lose its original vitality, resulting in male infertility. Even if they give birth, most of the babies are deformed.
