Dr. Luo Yong
Causes of Low Sperm Viability:
1. Unhealthy lifestyle habits: Long-term sleep deprivation, excessive fatigue, unbalanced diet, or deficiency in essential nutrients such as zinc and selenium may impair sperm production and survival.
2. Environmental factors: Exposure to radiation, high temperatures, and similar environments may disrupt normal spermatogenesis, leading to abnormal sperm morphology or functional impairments.
3. Medical conditions: Genitourinary infections such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and orchitis, as well as varicocele, may directly damage sperm or alter their living environment, thereby reducing sperm viability.
4. Genetic factors: Certain genetic disorders or gene mutations may also affect sperm development and survival capacity.
5. Medication use: Drugs such as chemotherapy agents and hormonal medications may interfere with cell division or metabolic processes, negatively affecting sperm production.
