What are the symptoms of oligospermia and asthenospermia?

Generally, oligoasthenospermia (reduced sperm count and motility) presents symptoms such as reduced semen volume, decreased sperm count, low sperm motility, abnormal semen liquefaction, and discomfort in the reproductive system. The specific details are as follows:

1. Reduced semen volume: During ejaculation, the volume of semen is significantly decreased, possibly only a few milliliters, far below the average normal semen volume.

2. Decreased sperm count: The number of sperm in the semen is lower than the normal value, which is a direct manifestation of oligoasthenospermia. A reduced sperm count may lead to decreased fertility or infertility.

3. Low sperm motility: Sperm motility is weakened, and in some cases, sperm may be completely immotile. Poor sperm motility affects its fertilization capability, thereby reducing the chances of pregnancy.

4. Abnormal semen liquefaction: After ejaculation, the semen may experience abnormal liquefaction, such as incomplete or complete failure to liquefy. This can affect the sperm's motility and penetrability, further reducing fertility potential.

5. Discomfort in the reproductive system: Some patients may experience discomfort in the reproductive system, such as scrotal dampness, testicular heaviness, or testicular pain. These symptoms may be related to inflammation or functional disorders of the reproductive system caused by a decline in sperm quality.
