In terms of fertility, it is not only necessary to consider the quality of male sperm, but also the vitality of male sperm. Even if the quality is good, if the sperm vitality is insufficient, after the sperm is discharged, it will not have enough vitality to reach the egg position and combine with the egg, resulting in male infertility. Some men ask whether sperm vitality affects pregnancy?
There are four levels of male sperm motility in medicine. A level has excellent sperm motility and can move forward quickly in a straight line. B level has good sperm motility and can move forward in a straight line. C level has average sperm motility and can only move forward in a curved line. Finally, D level has poor sperm motility, and these sperm are basically immobile and wriggling in place.
Sperm motility is a normal standard that must be above 25% for grade A and above 50% for grade A plus grade B. Exceeding this range is a sign of low sperm motility. Once sperm motility is less than 50%, it is considered low sperm motility and may affect or reduce male fertility. Therefore, if male sperm motility is 22, it is considered low sperm motility and can affect pregnancy.
There are many reasons why sperm vitality can be affected, such as infections in the male reproductive system, semen liquefaction, varicocele, immune factors, and long-term abstinence. However, as long as the cause can be identified and treated accordingly, combined with food therapy and correction of unhealthy lifestyle habits, patients with low sperm vitality can still conceive.
