The results of my sperm analysis indicate discrete astenozoospermia, what does this mean?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

It means that a percentage greater than 60% of the spermatozoa in the semen sample analyzed are immotile or have motility problems. The qualifier discrete refers to the fact that it is not a very high percentage or well above the reference value.
