Oligospermia

Low motile sperm count in ejaculate. Changes in the required number of male germ cells in the seminal fluid can be caused by two reasons:

• the presence of an obstacle to their release into the environment due to, for example, obstruction of the vas deferens;
• secretory dysfunction, leading to a reduction or cessation of semen production;
• the presence of certain chronic diseases, bad habits and adverse environmental conditions.

In addition, the lack of sperm in the ejaculate may be due to the difficulty or impossibility of their transport from the testicles. First of all, the cause may be a violation of the patency of the deferens associated with:

• male sterilization (ligation of spermatic cord);
• previous inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system;
• varicocele - varicose destruction of testicular veins;
• congenital developmental pathologies;
• injury to the male genital organs;
• other causes of impaired semen secretion.

Asthenospermia

Asthenospermia is a violation of the structure of seminal fluid, leading to insufficient activity and speed of movement of sperm. According to statistics, men with asthenospermia are absolutely sterile in only 10% of cases. With the removal of the true cause of the pathology, one can hope for positive results.

Accurately answer the question why asthenospermia develops is not always possible. In about 20% of cases, it is possible to immediately identify the cause of its occurrence. This is explained by the fact that the pathology does not manifest itself in any way, does not affect the erectile function, and can calmly progress for many years. The provoking factors include:

• venereal diseases;
• abnormal development of spermatozoa of hereditary genesis;
• sticking of sperm, leading to a decrease in their motility;
• increased acidity or the presence of mucus in the seminal fluid;
• temperature drops (overheating or overcooling of the testicles);
• intoxication of the body, including alcohol;
• wearing tight linen;
• radioactive or electromagnetic radiation;
• endocrine disorders, leading to a failure of metabolic substances;
• the presence of tumors in the organs of the urogenital system;
• stress, depression;
• depressed immunity;
• prolonged abstinence from sex.

Since there are a lot of reasons for the development of pathology, and they are diverse, the sufferer needs to fully examine the body. In the future, the treatment of asthenospermia will be based on the obtained diagnostic results.

Teratospermia

Teratospermia is a form of impaired spermatogenesis, leading to male infertility. Pathology is the large content of sperm with an abnormal structure. Normally, the number of sperm with pathological abnormalities should not exceed 50%. If their concentration is higher, the man may have serious problems with fertility.

Spermatozoa with morphological changes cannot fertilize an egg, as they quickly lose their ability to move actively. The more diseased sperm in the sperm, the lower the chances that the egg will be fertilized naturally. If the content of morphologically modified sperm exceeds 85-90%, pregnancy is unlikely.

In some cases, fertilization is carried out, but the embryo is not viable. A significant number of miscarriages in women in early pregnancy is caused precisely by teratospermia in men.

The most common cause of pathology - a hormonal imbalance, which is often observed in athletes who use drugs to gain muscle mass. The increase in the number of pathological sperm also contribute to:

• viral infections (e.g. herpes)
• inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system (orchitis, prostatitis, epididymitis)
• varicocele
• bad habits (smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction)
• overheating of the testicles
• radiation exposure
• testicular injury
• stress
• genetic abnormalities
• toxic effects

Aspermia

Aspermia is a condition in which a man does not experience ejaculation at the time of orgasm. At the same time, he has no problems with erectile function.

In some cases, aspermia involves the release of seminal fluid at the time of ejaculation without sperm. That is, according to external signs in this situation, it is impossible to identify the disease, since the man secretes ejaculate. But if you examine the fluid in the laboratory, it turns out that there are no sperm in it.

This pathology is a normal condition in older men. Other causes of aspermia include:

• congenital or acquired anomalies of the genitourinary system
• chronic inflammatory processes in the organs of the genitourinary system
• sexually transmitted diseases
• injuries and tumors of the spine, surgery on it, resulting in impaired transmission of impulses
• psychological problems (stress, emotional turmoil)

Types of Aspermia

According to its external manifestations, the disease is divided into the following types:

• True aspermia. A man cannot experience an orgasm, as a result of which he does not emit semen. This condition can lead to serious psychological problems or neurological disorders.
• False aspermia. This form of pathology is characterized by the fact that a man has an orgasm, but there are no spermatozoa in the seminal fluid or this process occurs without any discharge.

Regardless of the type of pathology, a man with asthenospermia cannot conceive a child naturally.
