When it comes to infertility, we should not be too unfamiliar with it. According to a survey, the infertility rate is currently as high as 15%-20% worldwide, and the number of infertile people in China is about 40 million. Infertility is becoming more and more of a problem for many couples.
As we all know, infertility can never be a problem only for the female partner, but also for the male partner. Male infertility refers to a situation where a couple has lived together for more than one year without any contraceptive measures and the female partner is infertile due to the male partner’s factors.
Generally speaking, male infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, and weak sperm can also trigger male infertility. For weak sperm, many people believe that once they have weak sperm, they have no chance to have children in the future. What are the facts? Next, let’s find out together.
In general, patients with low sperm motility have no obvious systemic symptoms and mainly present with difficulties in pregnancy.
In case of unexplained infertility, it is recommended to visit a hospital for prompt treatment. If it is due to weak sperm, timely scientific treatment is needed. Suffering from weak sperm does not actually mean that there is no way to have a child. In principle, you can first try to find the primary cause of the disease and treat it. If the treatment is not effective, appropriate assisted reproduction techniques can be used to enable the spouse to conceive successfully.
At present, the treatment of weak spermatozoa varies depending on the cause of the disease, with general treatment, endocrine treatment, surgical treatment and assisted reproduction techniques being used.
