Inactive sperm

As is known from anatomy, the movement of male germ cells - spermatozoa, is due to the rotation of the flagellum - tail, around its axis. However, within the male body, these cells are practically immobilized, i.e. their progress is achieved through the reduction of the muscular structures of the reproductive organs themselves. Activation of spermatozoa occurs at the time of ejaculation. A big role in this process belongs to the secret of the prostate gland, which acts as a so-called activator.

What types of germ cells are distinguished in men, depending on their mobility?

Sperm sperm are quite often the cause of infertility in men. Therefore at inspection doctors I pay pay special attention to this parameter.

When assessing the mobility of germ cells in men, they are divided into 4 categories: A, B, C, D. The diagnosis of "asthenozoospermia" is set when cells A and B (with translational and non-progressive movement) are less than 40%.

To category A it is customary to refer to fast moving spermatozoa, the direction of movement in which is rectilinear. Cells of type B have a lower speed of movement, C - do not move in a straight line, or in one place, D - absolutely immovable.

What if the spermatozoon is inactive?

To begin with, it should be noted that such a conclusion can only be made by doctors, based on the spermogram performed .

As a rule, therapeutic measures for such a violation are a set of measures aimed at eliminating the cause that led to the disease. That is why the treatment regimen for sedentary spermatozoa is selected individually and completely depends on the factor that caused asthenozoospermia.

So, for example, if it is an inflammatory process, anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed. If the disease is caused by chronic foci of infection, then the course of antibiotic therapy.
