What to do if sperm motility is low

Low sperm motility is a common disease, mainly asthenospermia. Asthenospermia is a disease in which the centripetal movement of semen parameters is less than 50% or less than 25%. It is mainly related to human reproduction. Only sperm that move forward normally can combine to form a fertilized egg. At the same time, in daily life, a sperm will show good motility as soon as it liquefies.

If some factors affect the motility of sperm, then at this time, it will lead to some infertility issues. Mainly some common andrological diseases lead to low sperm survival rate. There are many definitions and different treatment methods.

All sperms that have the ability to move are motile sperms. The motility (activity rate) of sperms is calculated based on the percentage of sperms that have the ability to move forward among the motile sperms. It is generally divided into 5 levels: Level 0 (level D) means that the sperms cannot move; Level 1 (level C) means that the sperms have poor motility and only move in place; Level 2 (level C) means that the sperms have average motility and only move forward in a curved line; Level 3 (level B) means that the sperms are very active and move forward in a straight line; Grade 4 (Grade A) means that the sperm is extremely active and moves forward in a fast straight line. Under normal circumstances, the sum of Grades 3 and 4 should exceed 50%, and at least 25% of the active sperm move in a fast straight line. If the sperm of Grades 0, 1, and 2 exceeds 50%, and Grade 4 is less than 25%, it is asthenozoospermia. In asthenozoospermia, the sperm is unable to move forward and has difficulty passing through the cervical canal and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tube and combine with the egg, thus causing low fertility. Common causes of asthenozoospermia include: 1. Incomplete maturity or damage and thinning of the testicular spermatogenic epithelium, resulting in poor quality sperm and weak motility; 2. Low semen volume; 3. Sperm abnormalities. For example, when the epididymis, seminal vesicle, prostate, etc. are inflamed, the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, metabolism, etc. are not conducive to the activity and survival of sperm; if antisperm antibodies are present, sperm can be agglutinated, thus losing their motility. Necrozoospermia means that most sperm in semen are dead, but their morphology and quantity may not be obviously abnormal. Dead sperm lose their motility and fertilization ability, thus causing infertility. Under normal circumstances, sperm is produced by the spermatogenic epithelium of the testis and enters the epididymis for further development and maturation. The tail of the epididymis and the abdomen of the vas deferens are the places where sperm are stored. The secretion of the seminal vesicle epithelium is rich in fructose, which is the active energy source for ejaculated sperm. The prostatic fluid is alkaline, which is suitable for the survival and activity of sperm. The main cause of necrospermia is inflammation of the accessory glands and vas deferens. The infection consumes a large amount of essential nutrients or trace elements such as zinc that sperms rely on for survival, or the pH of semen changes, as well as the emergence of anti-sperm antibodies and other factors, which destroy the living environment of sperms and cause sperm death. Therefore, actively treating accessory gland infection may solve the infertility problem of patients with necrospermia. The key to treating necrospermia is to treat prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. Treatment: The following folk remedies are for reference only. Please use them under the guidance of a professional doctor and do not take them on your own: Chinese medicine: 15g of Guiban, 15g of Huangjing, 20g of Rehmannia glutinosa, 15g of Lycium barbarum, 10g of Cornus officinalis, 10g of Nvzhenzi, 10g of Plantago, 10g of Schisandra chinensis. Boil in water, one bowl a day. Take for 15 days. Single prescription: 6weidihuang pills, 9 pills each time, twice a day (see the instructions for details) Longdanxiagan pills, 6 pills each time, twice a day (see the instructions for details)

The above is how to treat low sperm motility. The common clinical causes are mainly infection and other types. Only sperm that move forward normally can combine to form a fertilized egg. At the same time, in daily life, a sperm liquefies and immediately shows good motility. A thorough examination in the hospital can determine what causes the low sperm survival rate.
