Good sperm contributes to the birth of a baby. Fathers who are preparing for pregnancy need to pay special attention to this. In particular, men with low sperm motility need to pay more attention to daily care. So what causes low sperm motility in men? What should we do if sperm motility is low? How to prevent low sperm motility? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

Causes of low sperm motility

Inflammation caused by reproductive system infection can lead to semen variations, affecting sperm activity and survival.

Lack of trace elements zinc, selenium, trace elements and fructose in the body will affect testicular development and sperm formation, leading to low sperm survival rate.

Abnormalities in semen such as abnormal metabolism in the body, insufficient sperm, and abnormal seminal plasma.

The use of hormone and chemical drugs can lead to sperm hypoplasia and sperm abnormalities.

Long-term illness leads to a depressed mental state and poor physical condition, which affects sperm motility.

Long-term smoking, alcoholism and other bad habits lead to low sperm survival rate.

Frequent consumption of unhealthy foods such as pickled, smoked, grilled, and fried foods.

Long-term consumption of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, cola, milk tea, etc.

Long-term consumption of "sperm-killing" foods such as celery and garlic.

What to do if sperm motility is low

Pay attention to adjusting the dietary structure and replenishing kidney essence; reduce the consumption of kidney essence, and strengthen the supplementation and maintenance of kidney essence.

Be careful not to drink alcohol or eat spicy food, do not wear or wear less jeans, do not take or take less saunas, avoid high temperature and radiation working environment, etc. Provide sperm with a suitable environment for growth and life.

Eating foods containing magnesium can improve sperm motility. Magnesium helps regulate heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve male fertility.

Arginine is the main component of sperm head. Arginine has the ability to improve sperm activity. Foods rich in arginine include sea cucumber, eel, loach, cuttlefish, sesame, yam, etc.

How to prevent low sperm motility

Stay away from tobacco and alcohol. Nicotine and alcohol can affect sperm quality, make sperm lose their vitality, and can also cause malformations and miscarriages in successfully fertilized fetuses.

Improve your diet. Choose natural foods, reduce the intake of preservatives and spicy foods, and properly supplement yourself with zinc, arginine, magnesium, calcium, and fructose.

Provide a suitable temperature for sperm motility. High temperature will affect sperm health and make it lack of motility. Avoid long-term hot springs and saunas. Low temperature will also affect sperm motility.

Pay attention to clean sexual life. Unclean sexual life may cause reproductive tract infection and have an adverse effect on sperm motility.

Stay away from chemicals and radiation. For example, dry cleaning agents, microwave ovens, and electromagnetic cooker radiation are all harmful to sperm.

Participate in physical exercise. Carry out scientific physical exercise, such as mountain climbing, jogging, playing ball, etc.

Keep it clean. Men's foreskin and scrotum are prone to collecting dirt and need to be washed every day.

Knowledge about low sperm motility

Low sperm motility, also known as asthenozoospermia, refers to a condition in which less than 50% of sperm are moving forward, or less than 25% of sperm are moving in grade A (fast forward) in semen parameters (WHO fourth edition standard in 1999). Asthenozoospermia is the most common type of low sperm quality, and often occurs with other abnormal semen manifestations. According to domestic literature reports, male infertility caused by low sperm motility accounts for about 30%. Acute and chronic inflammation of the male reproductive tract or reproductive glands such as the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and prostate can reduce the motility of sperm. Patients with low sperm motility may have no obvious systemic symptoms clinically. If they are secondary to prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, and testicular diseases, corresponding symptoms may occur. Some patients with low sperm motility may have erectile dysfunction (ED), decreased libido, chills and cold limbs, fatigue, weakness in the waist and knees, etc. Treatment is carried out for the primary disease, and Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and treatment can be used.
