A semen analysis is a basic diagnostic test to assess male fertility. As part of semen analysis 3 major parameters of sperm are analyzed which includes Sperm Count, Sperm Morphology (that is shape/structure of the sperm, and Sperm motility.

What is sperm motility and why is it important?
Sperm motility is the ability of sperm to move efficiently. This is important for fertility because sperm need to move through the woman’s reproductive tract to reach and fertilize the egg. If sperm do no have good motility it would be difficult for sperms to reach the egg in the fallopian tube and therefore be unable to successfully achieve fertilization.

What is considered normal and Low sperm motility?
Based on WHO 2010 Guidelines for Semen analysis Sperm motility is considered normal if 40% of sperms showcase Motility that is the ability of sperms to move. Also, form those that are motile 32% should have progressive motility meaning sperms are able move forward in a straight path or manner rather than moving in place or in a circular motion. Below this range of % total motility or % Progressive Motility it is referred to as low sperm motility or “Asthenozoospermia”

What causes Low Sperm Motility/ Asthenozoospermia?
Low Sperm Motility can be caused by:
Testicular Trauma or Injury
Advanced age: there's a significant decrease in motility after 45 years
Presence of antisperm antibodies
Genetics
Lifestyle factors such as Nutrition, cigarette smoking.
Excessive consumption of alcohol or other drugs.

It can also be observed in men with varicocele a condition of enlarged veins in the scrotum.
Other causes can be stress, environmental exposure to toxic agents, as well as underlying health conditions or hormonal imbalance.

What are the treatment options for low sperm motility?
If a couple is having trouble conceiving due to low sperm motility. Depending upon the cause, certain medications can be given to improve sperm motility such as Clomid (clomiphene) medication for the male, Various combinations of vitamins and minerals. In some cases this can be effective however, its still not very clear as to whether these methods significantly improve pregnancy rates.

More successful treatment options include Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) which includes:
IUI which is Intrauterine Insemination: In which the semen sample is prepared to isolate motile sperms which are then deposit in the uterus around the time of female ovulation to minimize the journey of the sperm to in order to reach the egg. Normally this is the first line of treatment. And For men with otherwise fairly normal semen parameters, but motility in the 30 to 40% range, insemination treatments (IUI) might be successful in achieving pregnancy.

If several attempts of IUI have also been unsuccessful. Then in vitro fertilization treatment may be recommended using conventional insemination if Total Motile Sperm Count is usually 10 million or more where eggs and sperm are added together in a laboratory petri dish to achieve fertilization. .However if very low sperm motility then IVF utilizing an advanced technique intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg. IVF with ICSI is a highly successful treatment for male infertility.
Fertilization can usually be obtained in 70 to 90% of the eggs. Regardless of the % sperm motility (or the count) for ICSI as long we can find at least one normal, motile sperm in the specimen for each egg to be injected with ICSI.

❓❓❓Commonly Asked Questions ANSWERED❗
Q. Can you improve sperm motility?
Regular exercise, incorporating healthier lifestyle changes avoiding alcohol and cigarettes which is known to damage sperm DNA and quality can certainly help. Supplementation of Vitamin C and D, Lycopene (explained: [ Ссылка ]) has also been shown to improve sperm motility. Identifying the underlying cause and seeking appropriate treatment is recommended.

Q. Can you get pregnant with low sperm motility?
With poor sperm motility sperms are unable to reach the egg in time as the ovulated egg remains viable for 24 hours during which it has to be fertilized. This makes it difficult to conceive and in such cases, couples may face fertility issues.

Q. Can low sperm motility be cured?
Low Sperm Motility can cause male infertility. Various treatment options exist depending upon the severity such as IUI, IVF and ICSI.
