What are the symptoms of oligoasthenospermia?

Generally, oligoasthenospermia may present symptoms such as reduced sperm concentration, decreased sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, inflammation of the reproductive tract, reduced libido, and sexual dysfunction. The specific details are as follows:

1. Reduced sperm concentration: The number of sperm in the semen of patients with oligoasthenospermia is significantly lower than the normal range, leading to decreased sperm concentration. This may affect the fertilization ability of the sperm and thus reduce the probability of conception.

2. Decreased sperm motility: Patients with asthenospermia have reduced sperm motility, and sperm may be unable to move smoothly due to insufficient energy. This usually manifests as impaired sperm movement ability, which can be determined by testing the sperm's swimming speed. Decreased sperm motility affects its ability to bind with the egg, thereby reducing the success rate of conception.

3. Abnormal sperm morphology: Sperm from patients with oligoasthenospermia may exhibit atypical shapes such as large or pointed heads, short tails, double heads, or double tails. These morphologically abnormal sperm may have difficulty achieving fertilization because they may be unable to pass smoothly through the female reproductive tract or successfully bind with the egg.

4. Inflammation of the reproductive tract: Oligoasthenospermia may be associated with infections of the reproductive tract, such as prostatitis and urethritis. These inflammations can cause congestion and edema of the mucous membranes in the reproductive tract, and severe cases may lead to narrowing or even blockage of the reproductive tract, thus affecting the transportation and storage of sperm. Patients often experience accompanying symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination.

5. Reduced libido and sexual dysfunction: Some patients with oligoasthenospermia may experience symptoms of sexual dysfunction such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. These symptoms may be related to abnormal hormone levels, dysfunction of the reproductive system, or psychological factors. Reduced libido and sexual dysfunction not only affect the patient's sexual quality of life but may also further exacerbate the symptoms of oligoasthenospermia.

When these symptoms occur, timely medical consultation and relevant examinations should be sought to determine the underlying cause and implement appropriate treatment measures. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits and undergoing regular physical examinations can help prevent oligoasthenospermia.
