Understanding sperm motility

Before understanding the motility of sperm first we need to understand what is sperm health, a healthy sperm is an important factor which contributes to the couples ability to conceive a child, healthy sperms  are responsible to conceive as well as play an important role in healthy fertilization of the egg for pregnancy. Healthy sperm has six main criteria - 

  • Shape
  • Motility
  • Volume
  • Nuclear decondensation
  • Ability to pass the survival mucus and to reach the egg
  • Zona pellucida binding
For a healthy and successful pregnancy the sperm also need to have the correct number of chromosomes, In case of any of the above criteria is not meant this can result into male infertility.

What's sperm motility

The motility is defined as the ability of this sperm to move, this mobility refers to the movement and the swimming process of the sperm, a healthy spam motility includes progression of at least 25 micrometers per second, poor sperm mobility means that the sperm does not have enough capability to swim properly which can lead to men in- fertility. To determine the proper sperm motility overall semen analysis is done, motality is the measurement of sperm and semen health, The other factors which are considered during semen analysis are -
  • Sperm count
  • Semen volume
  • Concentration of sperm
  • Semen pH
  • White blood cells count
  • Spam morphology / shape of sperm
Along with the motility, sperm count is also the main factor which affects the fertility, sponge count can affect fertility as it decreases the chance of getting pregnant with the low sperm count and bad sperm motility, There are also problems like quality of spam that affects the chances of getting a women pregnant. Meant infertility factor often due to the lower sperm count is the most common trouble that couples face while conceiving.

Causes of low sperm motility

There are many causes of low sperm motility which can vary from person to person, some people may have genetic cause while there are peoples which may have an undiagnostic medical condition, damage to the testicles can also be a major cause, lifestyle and environmental factors play an important role in motility of sperm, for example smoking and drinking has turned out to be the most important affecting factor that decreases sperm motility. Stress can also be a factor that increase the risk of low sperm motility. Low sperm motility can also be due to any disorder in male sex gland secretion, conditions like vericocele also affects the sperm motility this occurs when the winds inside the scrotum becomes enlarged.

Diagnosis

Sperm motility can be tested through semen analysis, for this test two semen samples are collected for testing. The samples are then kept at room temperature and delivered to the facility within 30 to 60 minutes, it is often seen that if less than 40% of the sperms are motile, it is considered as a low sperm motility. Along with the sperm motility semen analysis can also be done to test health of male genital tract, proper ejaculation, and accessory glands.
