With the arrival of the second child era, many families are ready to welcome their second child. Unfortunately, I didn't feel any difficulty conceiving my first child, and as a result, I couldn't conceive my second child. I went to the hospital for an examination and was diagnosed with oligoasthenozoospermia. What is this?
What is oligoasthenozoospermia
Oligoasthenozoospermia is one of the most common causes of infertility, and it is also the simplest and fastest way to diagnose infertility through semen analysis. Semen analysis is a series of indicators tested by the naked eye and microscope for male ejaculation, and is the most basic and primary examination item for evaluating male infertility. Routine tests mainly include: semen volume, semen appearance, liquefaction time, PH, sperm concentration, sperm motility, sperm survival rate, sperm morphology analysis and other indicators. The normal reference range for semen volume is ≥ 1.5ml, with a milky white, homogeneous, and semi fluid appearance. Normal semen samples liquefy within 60 minutes; The reference values of sperm concentration and sperm motility sperm concentration were ≥ 15 times; 106/ml, if less than this number, it is oligospermia; The reference value of sperm motility is PR (percentage of motile sperm) ≥ 32%, PR+NP ≥ 40%, and if it is lower than these two figures at the same time, it is called asthenospermia. If there are fewer sperm or insufficient vitality, of course, the probability of successful pregnancy will significantly decrease.
Why can't I have a second child when I was pregnant with one?
The first fetus is normal, but the second fetus is diagnosed with oligoasthenozoospermia, which is not uncommon and has multiple reasons, such as
(1) When giving birth to the first child, there was a problem with abnormal semen, but it was fortunate enough to successfully conceive at that time;
(2) Some diseases can affect spermatogenic function, leading to oligozoospermia and asthenozoospermia, and some unhealthy lifestyle habits can also worsen. For example, smoking and excessive drinking can lead to an increase in sperm malformation rate, a decrease in fertility, and an increase in fetal malformation rate; In hot water bath, sauna bath and hot spring, the temperature of scrotum and testis increases due to excessive water temperature, which inhibits and damages the spermatid, leading to decreased spermatogenesis; Insufficient intake of vitamins and trace elements, dislike of fruits and vegetables, relative lack of vitamins and trace elements, reduced antioxidant capacity, and lack of raw materials for sperm production can also affect sperm production;
(3) Some chromosomal diseases continue to worsen, such as AZFc (chromosome) deletion.
If you want to 'supplement the shape with the shape', don't worry
Detect oligoasthenozoospermia
Diagnosed as male infertility, in addition to seeking medical treatment, improving diet, adjusting lifestyle habits, and quitting bad habits such as smoking and alcohol, it is also necessary for sperm production. Reminder: To restore the vitality of sperm, traditional "aphrodisiacs" are not in charge. For example, the popular maca is actually just an ordinary vegetable, containing multiple nutrients and high nutritional value. But there is no evidence to suggest that it can improve sexual ability or fertility; The waist and various whips of animals are particularly revered as aphrodisiac foods, possibly influenced by the traditional concept of "supplementing the body with its shape". However, the human body is a very complex system, and often it is not as simple as "supplementing what you eat". From the perspective of nutritional supplementation, animal kidneys not only provide protein and fat, but also have no special components. Moreover, they have high levels of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, so eating more is not beneficial; The main uniqueness of various whips is that they may contain some male hormones, but after cooking, heating, and digestion of digestive fluids in the human gastrointestinal tract, they can be said to have very little left.
When encountering the problem of second child infertility, it is necessary to seek scientific treatment at a professional hospital without delay!
