What to do if sperm has high odd shape rate?

Every couple who is preparing for pregnancy always hears that problems with sperm will affect the development of the entire fetus. Therefore, men and women who are preparing for pregnancy need to undergo various physical examinations to confirm whether they can have a healthy birth. So what should we do if the sperm has a high rate of odd shapes? How to check the accuracy of sperm in normal times, including whether the sperm is normal! Let's learn about it together.

In routine examination of semen for infertility, it is often seen that more than half of the sperm of some patients are deformed, such as cone-shaped heads, double heads, double tails, curled tails, etc. This is called teratozoospermia. The increase in sperm deformity often indirectly reflects the obstruction of testicular spermatogenesis, and will inevitably affect the vitality and fertilization ability of sperm. According to statistics, when the sperm deformity rate exceeds 20%, the infertility rate increases. Abnormal sperm morphology often exists at the same time as oligospermia or poor vitality, but sometimes it exists alone.

The evaluation of sperm morphology is based on the entire sperm: the head, midpiece and tail. The normal range of sperm morphology and size is:

(1) Head: The head is 3.5-5.0 microns long and 2.0-3.0 microns wide; the sperm head is a regular oval. When the length and width of the sperm head exceed 5 and 3 microns respectively, it is called a large head; when it is less than 3 and 2 microns respectively, it is called a small head; if the size is unclear or the shape is close to an oval, it should be counted as normal, because it has been found in practice that as long as other morphological parameters of the sperm are normal, the size of the sperm head is not an important factor. Sperm head abnormalities with clinical significance include: conical (length and width are less than 5 and 2 microns respectively, or longer than 5 microns and less than 3 microns wide), irregular, double-headed and "pear-shaped". Among them, the "pear-shaped" head is closely related to infertility in cattle, and its impact on human fertility has not been further introduced. It is generally counted as irregular or conical. If the judgment is unclear, it will still be calculated as normal.

(2) Midsection: The midsection is 5.0-7.0 microns long and 1.0 microns wide. A width of more than 2 microns usually reflects that the cytoplasmic droplets have not completely degenerated, and its impact on infertility is still unclear. If the cytoplasmic droplets are larger than half of the sperm head, it means that the sperm is immature and is abnormal. If it is less than or equal to half of the head, it should be normal. A break in the midsection is also abnormal.

From the above players, we have learned what to do if the sperm morphology rate is high. First of all, we need to pay attention to our daily life. Men must ensure their physical health in order to have safe and healthy reproduction, and also ensure that the sperm head and tail must be normal.
