Due to various adverse factors such as environment and diet, infertility is not uncommon in households nowadays. Many factors that cause infertility are also male. For example, in male oligozoospermia, patients with oligozoospermia may gradually deplete their sperm count before meeting and combining with the egg, resulting in fewer opportunities to combine with the egg, leading to infertility. Can artificial insemination be performed for patients with oligospermia? This may be the most concerning issue for patients with oligospermia.
Before solving this problem, it is necessary to know some questions.
1、 What is oligospermia?
Oligospermia refers to a condition in which the number of sperm in male semen with fertility is less than normal. Under normal circumstances, the number of sperm exceeds 20 million milliliters. Patients with oligozoospermia have a sperm count below this value, with mild oligozoospermia exceeding 10 million milliliters, moderate oligozoospermia exceeding 5 million milliliters, severe oligozoospermia exceeding 5 million milliliters, and azoospermia
2、 What is artificial insemination?
Artificial insemination is a pregnancy assistance technique that injects optimized semen into the female reproductive tract, allowing sperm and eggs to freely combine and achieve pregnancy goals. Semen is directly inserted into the female reproductive tract, and then requires the strength of the sperm to combine with the egg. Therefore, there is a sufficient number of good sperm in the semen, which increases the probability of sperm combining with the egg. There are few active sperm and poor quality, which affects the success rate of artificial insemination.
3、 Artificial insemination optimizes male semen and injects it into the female body, which to some extent improves sperm fertilization ability and enhances fertility.
From this, it can be seen that mild oligospermia can be artificially inseminated, but severe oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, and dysspermia are not suitable for artificial insemination. Patients with poor sperm quality and low probability of artificial insemination can consider second-generation IVF technology and pregnancy through donor channels.
