Causes of low sperm motility
Low sperm vitality means that the motility of sperm is weak and it is difficult to swim to the egg for fertilization normally. There are many reasons for low sperm vitality, mainly including the following aspects:
First, poor living habits are an important reason for low sperm vitality. Long term smoking, drinking, unbalanced diet and lack of exercise will affect the quality and vitality of sperm.
Secondly, suffering from some diseases may also lead to low sperm vitality. For example, inflammation such as prostatitis and orchitis will affect sperm production and motility.
In addition, environmental pollution is also one of the factors of low sperm vitality. Long term exposure to heavy metals, harmful chemicals, radiation and other environmental factors will adversely affect the quality and vitality of sperm.
Finally, genetic factors may also lead to low sperm motility. If parents themselves carry some gene defects, they may be passed on to their offspring, thus affecting sperm quality and motility.
Introduction to IVF technology
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. The basic process of this technology is to take out female eggs, fertilize them with male sperm in vitro in the laboratory, and then transfer the well developed embryos back to the mother.
IVF technology has a high success rate and can deal with a variety of infertility reasons. For couples with low sperm vitality, if the wife's eggs are of good quality, they can achieve their fertility aspirations through IVF technology.
Application of test tube baby in low sperm motility
For couples with low sperm vitality, IVF technology can be used for fine operation, and better vitality sperm can be selected for in vitro fertilization. The specific steps are as follows:
First of all, through semen analysis, assess the level of sperm vitality.
Secondly, the sperm and egg with better vitality are fertilized in vitro in the laboratory.
Next, observe the development of the fertilized eggs and screen the well developed embryos.
Finally, the well developed embryos are transferred back to the patient's uterus to promote pregnancy and embryo implantation.
Advantages and limitations of IVF technology
IVF technology has some obvious advantages over traditional pregnancy methods:
First, sperm and eggs can be accurately selected to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
Secondly, it can avoid the transmission of genetic diseases and reduce the risk of disease.
In addition, IVF technology can help couples suffering from irreversible tubal obstruction, uterine malformations and other problems to achieve fertility aspirations.
However, IVF technology also has certain limitations and risks:
First, not all couples can afford the high power consumption and high cost.
Secondly, the success rate after transplantation is not high, and one attempt may not be successful.
In addition, IVF technology may increase the risk of multiple pregnancy and premature delivery.
summary
Low sperm motility is one of the common causes of infertility. For couples with low sperm motility, IVF technology is a feasible option. The success rate of pregnancy can be improved by selecting highly active sperm for in vitro fertilization. However, IVF technology also has its advantages and limitations, which need couples to fully understand and consider when choosing. The most important thing is that couples should choose their own reproductive methods according to their own conditions and the doctor's advice.
