Astenozoospermia

Generality

Astenozoospermia is the condition suffered by men who produce ejaculates with a reduced content of motile spermatozoa.

The presence of adequate quantities of motile spermatozoa is essential for reproductive purposes; in fact, those who suffer from asthenozoospermia - especially when it is severe - have various difficulties in having children.
Causes and risk factors for asthenozoospermia include conditions such as varicocele, alcohol abuse, smoking, illegal drug use, genital infections, testicular cancer, teratozoospermia, nutritional deficiencies, severe feverish states etc.
To remedy the asthenozoospermia, it is essential to treat its triggering causes.
