What causes low sperm motility in men? Low sperm motility in men has a significant impact on fertility. Whether it is weak sperm or oligospermia, it is a huge hidden danger for men who want to have children. So, if men have this low sperm motility, what is the general reason for it? Only with a clear understanding can better treatment and preventive measures be taken.
What causes low sperm motility in men?
① Inflammation of organs such as the epididymis, seminal vesicle, and prostate gland can cause changes in seminal plasma, affecting sperm activity and survival in men.
② "Varicocele, local testicular hypoxia due to venous blood flow obstruction, causes decreased sperm motility in men.".
③ Insufficient semen volume affects male sperm activity.
④ "The development of the testis is hindered, and the seminiferous epithelium of the testis is not fully mature or damaged and thinned, resulting in poor sperm quality and reduced motility in men.".
⑤ The body produces anti male sperm antibodies that cause male sperm to agglutinate or immobilize.
What to do with low sperm motility
First, take more physical exercise
"Male obesity can lead to increased testicular temperature, which can hinder sperm growth. Therefore, controlling weight within the standard range can improve sperm quality.".
Second, pay attention to some living habits
Avoid going to the steam bathroom and sauna. High temperature not only directly damages sperm, but also inhibits sperm production. Pay attention to radiation protection at ordinary times. Don't put your mobile phone in your pants pocket, and don't put your laptop on your lap. Quit smoking and alcohol. According to the data, 44% of people believe that smoking is the most important factor for the decline in sperm count, indicating that it is imperative to quit smoking.
Third, to improve sperm vitality, the most important thing is to pay attention to diet
Men should eat more green vegetables. Green vegetables contain vitamin C, zinc, vitamin E, selenium, and other components that are conducive to sperm growth. Fish and nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for sperm cell growth.
Warm reminder: Severe low sperm motility can directly lead to infertility. Even if a woman successfully conceives, the quality of the fertilized egg will also decline, directly leading to embryonic dysplasia, causing stillbirth, miscarriage, and so on.
