    Asthenospermia refers to the symptom that the sperm with forward movement (grades A and B) in the sperm parameters is less than 50% or the sperm with level A movement is less than 25%. Asthenozoospermia is also called low sperm motility. Nowadays, there are more and more patients with weak sperm. Many people are worried about weak sperm and want to know: can they get pregnant with weak sperm? It is possible to get pregnant with weak sperm, but the chance of pregnancy is lower.

    Weak sperm will affect pregnancy. In asthenozoospermia, male sperm are unable to move forward and cannot pass through the cervical canal and uterine body, and go straight to the bilateral fallopian tubes to fuse with egg cells, thus resulting in low fertility. Under normal circumstances, male sperm should be driven forward, but patients with asthenospermia lack this driving force, which results in inability to get pregnant. Among male infertility diseases, weak sperm accounts for a very large proportion. These patients are often depressed and restless because they cannot successfully conceive their wives.

    But this does not mean that patients with asthenozoospermia cannot become pregnant. However, it should be noted that even if a patient with asthenozoospermia becomes pregnant, he or she may not be able to give birth to a healthy baby. Some patients with asthenozoospermia inadvertently get their wives pregnant and feel relieved, but they do not expect that the pregnancy process in this case will affect the health of the future baby. Such a baby is likely to stop growing during pregnancy, and even suffer from miscarriage or premature birth. Even if it is born, it will not be as healthy as a child born under normal conditions. Therefore, it is best for patients with asthenozoospermia to cooperate closely with the treatment.

    To sum up, it is not 100% impossible to get pregnant with weak sperm, but it is recommended that for the sake of the physical and mental health of the baby, it is best for patients not to have children until they recover.

    Symptoms of weak sperm

    Asthenozoospermia refers to the symptom in which the male sperm with forward movement (levels a and b) in the quiet night parameters is less than 50% or the sperm with level a movement is less than 25%. Asthenozoospermia is also called low sperm motility.

    Male sperm is of great importance to male friends and plays a very important role in a man's life. The movement effect or movement ability of sperm is directly related to human reproduction. Only sperm that performs normal forward movement can ensure that sperm reaches the ampulla of the fallopian tube and fuses with egg cells to form sperm-egg union. Sperm after normal paraffin sectioning will have limited movement before the sperm liquefies. Once the sperm liquefies, it will immediately show excellent movement ability. If certain factors affect the movement of sperm, especially forward movement, then the sperm will not be able to swim to the location of the egg within the optimal time, and insemination will not be possible. Men must be aware of this.

    If the couple has lived together for more than 2 years after marriage and did not use any contraceptive methods, but healthy relatives are still not pregnant, then you must pay attention, because it may be that the man has weak sperm, causing him to be unable to get pregnant.

    Weak sperm not only damages men's psychological state, but also causes male infertility. Because the sperm of asthenospermia patients have certain quality problems, and even if such sperm can fuse with egg cells, the result is not necessarily ideal. There is a certain degree of difficulty in pregnancy with weak sperm, and even if you get pregnant, it is not conducive to good health and good breeding. In addition, many pregnant women will have premature babies or miscarriage during pregnancy. These may also be caused by insufficient sperm quality, so sufficient attention should be paid to weak sperm.
