In the clinic, we often meet patients who ask: “Doctor, why is my sperm malformation rate 90%? My previous sperm aberration rate at other hospitals was only 20%! Can we still get pregnant? Do I need to take some medicine to treat it?” Deformed sperm may have a defective fertilization function, making it difficult to fertilize an egg. In fact, most of the sperm in a normal male ejaculate are deformed, and only a small percentage of sperm are of normal morphology. If there are too many deformed sperm, the proportion of “competitive” normal sperm will be significantly reduced, which will affect the overall “fighting power” of the sperm and will not help the sperm to successfully “capture” the egg. This affects the overall “fighting power” of the sperm, which is not conducive to the successful “capture” of the egg by the sperm, thus affecting the fertilization ability of the sperm. If the sperm deformity rate is too high, the male fertility will be low, making it difficult for the woman to get pregnant. Research shows that reproductive gland infections and inflammation (epididymitis, orchitis, prostatitis or vesiculitis), endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities and other diseases, as well as smoking, alcoholism, late nights, high work pressure, high temperature work environment, high radiation environment and other bad habits and living environment, are the causes of teratospermia. The majority of patients with deformed sperm can be fertile Modern medicine has been able to enable most patients with deformed sperm to be fertile. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine and medication with life care can enable some patients to reduce their sperm malformation rate and obtain natural fertility. According to Chinese medicine, kidney deficiency, damp-heat injection or concomitant stagnation are the pathological basis of excessive deformed spermatozoa, which can be treated with Chinese herbs or proprietary Chinese medicines. Western medicine commonly uses antibiotics, antioxidant drugs, anti-estrogen drugs and trace elements to treat teratozoospermia. However, some patients with teratozoospermia have difficulty in reducing sperm malformation rate and natural fertility through the above treatments and need to obtain fertility through assisted reproductive technology. Patients with mild to moderate azoospermia can have children through artificial insemination and first-generation in vitro fertilization (IVF), while patients with severe and very severe azoospermia require second-generation in vitro fertilization (ICSI), which stands for intracytoplasmic single sperm injection and involves the injection of a single sperm directly into the plasma of the oocyte for fertilization with the help of a microscopic operating system. The severity of teratozoospermia does not affect the success rate of second generation IVF. As long as the internal quality of the sperm is good, some extremely severe cases of teratozoospermia (sperm malformation rate as high as 100%) can achieve a high fertility success rate with second-generation IVF technology. Fetal malformation and sperm malformation are not the same thing Will a high sperm malformation rate cause fetal malformation? Will it be easy to miscarry? In fact, fetal malformation and sperm malformation are not the same thing. Sperm malformation is only an abnormal shape that affects fertilization ability, but the intrinsic quality of sperm is the main factor that affects embryo quality and miscarriage. A high rate of sperm malformation alone will not lead to an increased rate of miscarriage and fetal malformation, but some patients with teratozoospermia have high rates of sperm DNA fragmentation, chromosomal abnormalities and other disorders, which is what causes an increased rate of miscarriage and fetal malformation. Fetal malformations occur mainly in the early stages of a woman’s pregnancy (within the first trimester). If during this period, the pregnant woman is infected with pathogens, has fever, takes harmful drugs (antibiotics, hormones, neurotoxic drugs, etc.), or is exposed to environmental risk factors (alcoholism, pesticides, radiation), it will directly endanger the development of fetal organs, leading to fetal malformation or developmental delay and easy miscarriage. Thus, it seems that fetal malformation and sperm malformation are not necessarily related. How to improve sperm quality? 1, drink more water, urinate regularly, do not hold urine; 2, avoid sedentary, moderate exercise; 3, ensure at least 7 hours of effective sleep every night; 4, avoid long-term exposure to high temperature, high radiation, chemical toxic environment; 5, avoid smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy, moderate amount of lean meat and eggs and other protein-rich food, but also moderate consumption of some deep-sea fish (swordfish, Spanish mackerel, etc.), less sea crab sea shrimp, moderate consumption of vegetables and fruits 6, can moderate consumption of dried fruit food (white melon seeds, walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, etc.); 7, pay attention to adjust the mentality, avoid tension, anxiety and other adverse emotions; 8, air-conditioned environment should pay attention to warmth, to avoid catching a cold. Although it is said so, but no problem sperm is naturally the best. Well, male friends should not be overly worried, if there is really anything you do not understand, to go to the hospital in order to clarify the cause of the disease, the right treatment.
