Understanding sperm 
motility
Before understanding the motility of sperm first we need to understand 
what is sperm health, a healthy sperm is an important factor which 
contributes to the couples ability to conceive a child, healthy sperms  are 
responsible to conceive as well as play an important role in healthy 
fertilization of the egg for pregnancy. Healthy sperm has six main criteria - 
• Shape
• Motility
• Volume
• Nuclear decondensation
• Ability to pass the survival mucus and to reach the 
egg
• Zona pellucida binding
For a healthy and successful pregnancy the sperm also need to have the 
correct number of chromosomes, In case of any of the above criteria is not 
meant this can result into male infertility.
What's sperm motility
The motility is defined as 
the ability of this sperm to 
move, this mobility refers 
to the movement and the 
swimming process of the 
sperm, a healthy spam 
motility includes 
progression of at least 25 
micrometers per second, 
poor sperm mobility 
means that the sperm 
does not have enough 
capability to swim 
properly which can lead to 
men in- fertility. To 
determine the proper 
sperm motility overall 
semen analysis is done, 
motality is the 
measurement of sperm 
and semen health, The 
other factors which are 
considered during semen 
analysis are -
• Sperm count
• Semen volume
• Concentration of sperm
• Semen pH
• White blood cells count
• Spam morphology / shape of sperm
Along with the motility, 
sperm count is also the main 
factor which affects the 
fertility, sponge count can 
affect fertility as it decreases 
the chance of getting 
pregnant with the low sperm 
count and bad sperm 
motility, There are also 
problems like quality of spam 
that affects the chances of 
getting a women pregnant. 
Meant infertility factor often 
due to the lower sperm count 
is the most common trouble 
that couples face while 
conceiving.
Causes of low sperm motility
There are many causes of low sperm motility which can vary from person 
to person, some people may have genetic cause while there are peoples 
which may have an undiagnostic medical condition, damage to the 
testicles can also be a major cause, lifestyle and environmental factors 
play an important role in motility of sperm, for example smoking and 
drinking has turned out to be the most important affecting factor that 
decreases sperm motility. Stress can also be a factor that increase the risk 
of low sperm motility. Low sperm motility can also be due to any disorder 
in male sex gland secretion, conditions like vericocele also affects the 
sperm motility this occurs when the winds inside the scrotum becomes 
eDnilarggneods. is
Sperm motility can be tested through semen analysis, for this test two 
semen samples are collected for testing. The samples are then kept at 
room temperature and delivered to the facility within 30 to 60 minutes, it 
is often seen that if less than 40% of the sperms are motile, it is 
considered as a low sperm motility. Along with the sperm motility semen 
analysis can also be done to test health of male genital tract, proper 
ejaculation, and accessory glands.
Treatment 
The main treatment includes lifestyle changes which can help to increase 
sperm motility for some men, lifestyle changes includes- 
Regular exercise

Limit Alcohol
Quit smoking
Manage stress
Along with this there are some supplements that helps to improve sperm 
motility, including healthy dietary habits helps a lot, increasing the vitamin 
e consumption can help to increase the sperm motility as well as the 
counts.
Outlook
Poor sperm motility can lead to male infertility, some of the best 
alternative ptreatments that are available which helps in conceiving are:-
IVF - In vitro 
fertilization during 
this procedure the 
women is given 
medications that 
encourage the 
production of 
eggs, which are 
removed from the 
ovaries and are 
fertilized with 
sperm in the 
laboratory, as a 
result of embryo 
development it is 
returned back to 
the worm for 
development.
IUI - Intrauterine 
insemination this is 
also known as 
artificial insemination 
In this procedure the 
sperms are being 
collected and 
washed, The fastest 
moving sperms are 
then inserted back to 
the boom using a 
fine plastic tube for 
fertilization, 
development.
Sperm donation 
- The person who is 
wanting to conceive 
can go for sperm
