Video Transcript

There are three main parameters that are looked at in a semen sample to determine the fertility status of a man. They are count, morphology and sperm motility.

Q) What is Sperm Motility? 0:33

A) Sperm motility is the ability of the sperm to move. For conception to occur, the sperms need to swim forward towards the egg and fertilise it before it disintegrates. According to WHO’s latest criteria, at least 40% of the sperms should be moving in a given semen sample. This is called the total motile sperm count. And among them 32% should have a rapid forward movement, this is called progressive motility.

Q) What is low sperm motility? 1:08

A) Low sperm motility is technically known as asthenospermia or asthenozoospermia and is diagnosed when the sperms that can move efficiently are less than 32%. It means that the sperms find it difficult to move towards the egg due to its limited motility.

Q) What affects sperm motility? 1.32

A) The most important factor affecting the quality of sperm is Stress and some health conditions. Also, excess heat around the genitals increases scrotal temperature that can affect the motility of sperm. It is also advised to avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking.

Q) How low sperm motility affects pregnancy? 1:55

A) If a man has low sperm motility, then he might be diagnosed with male factor infertility. Because after ovulation an egg stays in the fallopian tube for 12-24 hours waiting for the sperm to fertilise it. If the sperms have low motility, then they would not be able to swim up the uterus to reach the fallopian tubes in time to fertilise the egg, thereby affecting pregnancy.

Q) What are the treatment options for low sperm motility? 2:30

A) If a couple is facing an issue in conceiving due to low sperm motility and have tried fertility drugs like clomiphene to increase motility, but without any luck, then best is resorting to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to conceive successfully.
The available options are:
• IUI: Intrauterine insemination is recommended when the sperm motility range is between 30-40%. This procedure saves the sperm from taking the long journey from the cervix to the fallopian tube thus making it easier to reach the egg.
• IVF: In vitro fertilisation is recommended when the sperm motility is lower than 30%.
• ICSI: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is recommended in men with severe motility issues.
