Sperm motility refers to the ability of sperm cells to move erotic efficiently through the reproductive tract. This movement is essential for reaching and fertilizing an egg.
Motility depends on the structural integrity of the sperm tail and adequate energy production within the cell. Various factors such as oxidative stress, infections, or genetic abnormalities may impair sperm motility.
Reduced sperm movement is known medically as Asthenozoospermia.
Evaluation of sperm motility is an important component of semen analysis during fertility assessment.
Treatment may involve addressing underlying medical conditions, improving lifestyle habits, or using assisted reproductive technologies.
