When there is a case of asthenozoospermia or defective sperm motility in men, it may be necessary to resort to assisted reproductive techniques to achieve pregnancy. There are three possible treatments for these cases:
- Conventional IVF
- can be done in cases of mild astenozoospermia, when there is less than 75% of sperm with defective motility.
- ICSI
- when more than 75% of the spermatazoa are immotile or poor moving in the semen sample.
- Sperm donation
- when there has been no success with conventional IVF or ICSI, fertility treatments with donated sperm can be considered.
