Can I get pregnant if my sperm survival rate is low?

Pregnancy is achieved through the combination of sperm and egg to form a new cell. If the sperm survival rate is low, pregnancy is not impossible, but the chance of pregnancy will be greatly reduced. However, we can choose artificial insemination to achieve pregnancy. Generally, a sperm motility rate of 42% is normal. If the activity rate is low, you should not take medicine blindly, as this may cause more serious consequences.

Generally speaking, a sperm survival rate of over 60% is considered normal. A sperm survival rate below 60% is considered low, which will have a certain impact on fertility, but it does not mean infertility and should be taken seriously.

Reasons for low survival rate

1. The testicular spermatogenic epithelium is not fully mature or is damaged and thin, resulting in poor sperm quality and weak motility.

2. Low semen volume

3. Seminal plasma variation

Treatment

1. Drug treatment

Drugs can effectively treat low sperm survival rate. First, identify the cause and then prescribe the right medicine. For example, antibiotics are mainly used to treat semen abnormalities caused by chronic bacterial prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis; non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs are mainly used to treat chronic non-bacterial accessory gland inflammation.

2. Physical therapy

It would be more effective to perform auxiliary physical therapy at the same time as drug treatment. Physical therapy for low sperm survival rate mainly uses effective physical therapy equipment such as electromagnetic waves, electric thermal waves, infrared therapy instruments, etc. to conduct control treatment in the lower abdomen, combined with drug treatment, to enhance the absorption of drugs by the affected area, and can quickly restore the condition of low sperm survival rate.

3. Surgical treatment

If both drug treatment and physical therapy are ineffective, surgical treatment must be performed to cure some diseases that affect sperm survival rate, such as severe vas deferens obstruction, reproductive organ malformations, severe varicocele, etc.

Daily Diet

Foods high in protein that should be eaten include lean meat, pork spinal cord, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, eggs, fish and shrimp, etc. Foods containing arginine include eel, black fish, sea cucumber, tendon, lean meat, etc. You should pay attention to not smoking or drinking to avoid overdrawing your kidneys.
