Can patients with asthenospermia do IVF? Can patients with asthenospermia undergo artificial insemination?

Many men with asthenozoospermia have been unable to conceive after marriage and are very anxious, which also has a great impact on family happiness. Below, the editor of No. 5.com will tell you whether men with asthenozoospermia can have IVF? Can men with asthenozoospermia have artificial insemination?

Can a person with asthenospermia do IVF?

Yes, it is possible, and the technology is already very mature. It has become the hope of many patients with asthenozoospermia. People with asthenozoospermia can have in vitro fertilization. In vitro fertilization is a special technology that takes both the egg and the sperm out of the body, allowing them to complete the fertilization process in an artificially controlled environment outside the body, and then transplants the early embryo into the woman's uterus to grow into a child in the uterus. Babies produced using in vitro fertilization technology are called test-tube babies, and these children also grow in the mother's uterus. People with asthenozoospermia can select sperm with better development for in vitro fertilization.

Can artificial insemination be performed in patients with asthenospermia?

Asthenospermia, also known as low sperm motility, refers to a condition in which the forward-moving sperm in the semen parameters are less than 50% or the A-grade sperm are less than 25%. Normal conception requires a certain number of sperm with good fertilization ability. When the sperm density and the proportion of sperm with good motility in the male semen are not enough, or the deformity rate is too high, pregnancy is impossible.

Patients with asthenospermia can undergo artificial insemination. Men with asthenospermia mainly suffer from insufficient sperm motility and difficulty in fertilization, which leads to the inability of women to become pregnant. During artificial insemination, the doctor will extract the male's sperm and optimize it, then select the best quality sperm and inject it into the female body to achieve the purpose of conception. Therefore, patients with asthenospermia can undergo artificial insemination.

Who is suitable for IVF?

1. Bilateral fallopian tube obstruction: Whether it is inflammation, tuberculosis or endometriosis that causes fallopian tube obstruction or poor peristalsis, congenital fallopian tube absence or ectopic pregnancy, etc., which leads to fallopian tube removal, sperm and egg cannot meet. IVF technology has built a bridge for these patients. It can be said that bilateral fallopian tube obstruction is an absolute indication for IVF.

2. Immune infertility: The semen is washed and fertilized in vitro to avoid interference from immune factors.

3. Male factors: After the semen is washed and concentrated, its fertilization ability can be determined through in vitro culture.

4. Unexplained infertility: Under current examination conditions, no obvious cause has been found, and other treatments have not been successful for patients. In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology can be used to achieve a pregnancy rate of about 25%.

Are there risks with IVF?

First, the risk of ectopic pregnancy increases. The probability of ectopic pregnancy caused by IVF technology is 2.6 times that of natural pregnancy.

Second, multiple pregnancies increase the risk of fertility. In order to ensure conception, patients over 35 years old who undergo a baby test can place three embryos at a time, and those under 35 years old can place two at a time. For this reason, up to 30% of those who undergo a baby test will give birth to twins. However, the National Reproductive Committee solemnly stated that multiple pregnancies are actually a complication. Lin Yun introduced that if the mother is pregnant with a single fetus, the burden will increase by 30% to 40% compared to usual, and if she is pregnant with twins, the burden will increase by 60% to 80%. Such a "burden" is not something that all pregnant women can bear.

Third, some pregnant women who undergo IVF technology will be allergic to drugs. This is because after too much ovulation induction, "ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome" will occur, especially in those who have polycystic ovary syndrome. These pregnant women need to receive albumin treatment while doing IVF.
