What to do if sperm morphology is bad?

Many couples who are preparing for pregnancy always think that if the male sperm morphology is not good, the baby will not look good, and they are also worried about whether the baby will have defects and whether the child will be unhealthy. This is something that many couples who are preparing for pregnancy are worried about, and they don’t know what to do. So what should we do if the sperm morphology is not good, and what impact will it cause!

According to the normal semen standards set by the World Health Organization, whether semen is normal can be analyzed from the following aspects:

(1) Semen volume: Normal ≥ 2ml. If it is greater than 7ml, it is too much. Not only will the sperm density be reduced, but it will also be easy to flow out of the vagina, resulting in a decrease in the total number of sperm. This is common in seminal vesiculitis. If it is less than 2ml, it is too little semen, but usually less than 1ml is too little. At this time, the contact area between the semen and the female reproductive tract is small, or the viscosity makes it difficult for the sperm to enter the female cervix, leading to infertility. This is common in severe paragonitis, low testosterone levels, ejaculatory duct obstruction, retrograde ejaculation, etc.

(2) Color: Normal color is off-white or slightly yellow. Milky white or yellow-green indicates inflammation of the reproductive tract or accessory glands. Pink, red, or red blood cells under a microscope indicate bloody semen, which is commonly seen in inflammation of the accessory glands or posterior urethra, and occasionally in tuberculosis or tumors.

(3) pH: The normal pH value of semen is 7.2-7.8. A pH value less than 7.2 is seen in ejaculatory duct obstruction or urine contamination; a pH value greater than 7.8 is seen in seminal vesiculitis or old specimens.

(4) Liquefaction time: After normal semen is ejaculated, it becomes jelly-like under the action of the seminal vesicle coagulase. After 15 to 30 minutes, it becomes liquid under the action of the prostate liquefaction enzyme. This is called semen liquefaction. If semen still does not liquefy 30 minutes after ejaculation, it is abnormal.

(5) Viscosity: When a glass rod is placed in contact with liquefied semen and gently lifted, a semen thread will form. Normally, its length is less than 2 cm.

(6) Sperm count: Generally expressed as the number of sperm per milliliter of semen. A normal count is ≥20×10?6/ml. A count lower than this value is considered too few sperm, which is seen in spermatogenesis disorders caused by various reasons. It may cause low fertility or infertility due to the reduced chance of sperm entering the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes. If the sperm count is greater than 250×10?6/ml, it is considered too many sperm, which may also lead to infertility due to its affected motility.

(7) Sperm morphology: Sperm with normal morphology ≥ 50%, otherwise it may cause infertility.

Almost all couples hope for their children to be successful from the moment the baby is born. If they want to give birth to a smart and healthy baby, the first thing they should do is to check the sperm and the female eggs. From the above, we know what to do if the sperm morphology is not good. First of all, it is recommended that the couple should take good care of their bodies before giving birth to a healthy baby.
