Low sperm motility is caused by several factors, such as smoking, injuries to the genitals, or as a result of infection. Treatments for low sperm motility include implementing simple lifestyle changes, medicines, and assisted reproductive methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What does having low sperm motility mean?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sperm motility is one indicator of a person\u2019s sperm health. Motility refers to how effectively sperm moves through the reproductive system to reach and fertilize an egg.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low sperm motility is also known as asthenozoospermia. If a person is diagnosed with low sperm motility, most of their sperm aren\u2019t moving properly. This is bad news for fertility because the sperm don\u2019t swim well enough to reach the female egg to fertilize it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s important to note that not all sperm always moves perfectly well and that having a few slow-swimming sperm is perfectly normal. However, reproductive health issues might emerge if a large portion of your sperm starts moving ineffectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"cta2-wrap-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-info\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta2-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Getting ED medication has never been easier<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Connect with a US-licensed healthcare provider for a FREE evaluation!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-buttons cta2-mobile\">\n\t\t\t   <a class=\"btn1\" href='https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/get-started-lp1'>Get started for just $1.75 per pill<\/a>\n            \t<h6>limited time*<\/h6>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-image\">\n\t\t        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ultrapharmrx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/blog-image-1c.png\" \/>\n\t        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"cta2-footer-icons\">\n\t\t        <div class=\"icons d-flex justify-content-around justify-content-md-end\">\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/shipping%20copy%202.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Free Express<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/discreet.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>Discreet<br>\n                                Shipping<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                     <div class=\"icon\">\n                            <img src=\"\/images\/home\/banned.png\" alt=\"\">\n                            <p>No Waiting<br>\n                                Rooms<\/p>\n                     <\/div>\n                 <\/div>\n\t        <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What is the difference between low sperm motility and low sperm count?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A low sperm count refers to the amount of sperm in a person\u2019s semen, and like low sperm motility, it could have negative effects on your semen quality and overall fertility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that you can have normal, healthy sperm counts but still have problems with how your swimmers move. On the other hand, your sperm motility might be perfectly fine but lack enough sperm in your semen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, if you experience fertility problems, sperm motility is just one of the factors you and your healthcare provider should be looking at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What factors can cause low sperm motility?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenty of factors play into reduced sperm motility, such as the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental toxin exposure such as heavy metals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive heat from being in hot temperatures, such as fever, being in a sauna, or wearing tight, restrictive clothing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle choices such as tobacco, alcohol, and recreational drug use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being overweight or obese<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Living with high-stress levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injuries or infections involving the testicles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advancing age<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cryptorchidism or undescended testicles at birth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anabolic steroid use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enlarged scrotal veins (varicoceles)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The immune system makes antibodies attacking sperm which affects motility<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How is low sperm motility diagnosed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consult your healthcare provider if you and your partner cannot conceive after at least a year. It takes 12 months to diagnose infertility between couples. After that, your healthcare provider might recommend testing your semen. The latter is a non-invasive and useful test to determine a man\u2019s fertility, including his sperm motility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The semen analysis will require you to ejaculate into a container. Your semen sample will be sent to a lab for further analysis. The semen test will also be able to provide information about your sperm count, the shape of your sperm, semen pH levels, ejaculate volume, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is a chance that you or your partner have anti-sperm antibodies, then a specific test for that condition may be performed during the semen analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How is low sperm motility treated?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, several approaches treat low sperm motility and help you and your partner conceive.

This includes in-vitro fertilization techniques (IVF).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oftentimes, intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is the first step of assisted reproduction methods before in-vitro fertilization. Here\u2019s a quick rundown about IUI:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Procedure:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A male sperm donor provides a sperm sample processed and deposited by the fertility clinic to a woman\u2019s uterus with a tube.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Why it is effective:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> IUI is a short, painless procedure that ensures the maximum amount of sperm reaches the egg without having them swim too far to get there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How it increases chances of conceiving:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Couples increase their chances of pregnancy if the female partner undergoes fertility treatments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Outcomes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The chances of conceiving using IUI may be as much as 50%.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF is typically suggested as the next step if artificial insemination doesn\u2019t work too well. IVF involves taking the eggs from the female partner and taking a semen sample from the male partner. Then, the embryo is fertilized in a laboratory. After this, the healthy embryo is inserted into the woman\u2019s uterus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVF can take longer and be more expensive than IUI, but it is only 45% effective in conceiving. Another assisted reproductive technique called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be added to the stack, which improves success rates to 60%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>The bottom line on conceiving with low sperm motility<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Male infertility is a real threat, and it\u2019s easy to feel consumed with worry and stress if you and your partner cannot conceive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just remember that plenty of factors play into fertility, and reining in your stress levels and keeping the flame of passion burning with your partner makes the ordeal much easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re concerned about reproductive health issues, consult your healthcare provider to determine the next steps to address them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A person with low sperm motility means that most of his sperm can\u2019t swim properly, meaning they might not be able to fertilize an egg.
