What Causes Low Sperm Mobility?
Hi Dr, my husband had a vasovasectomy about 2 years ago and we are now trying to have babies... Everything regarding my fertility is fine, but his sperm motility is low and low sperm count but the drs keep saying that he does have enough sperm to impregnate me. He went for a sperm wash this morning where I then took it to my Gynae for IUI. My Dr did the IUI and then checked a little of his semen under a microscope for more than 10 minutes he couldn't see one sperm swimming, it was just a all clear sign. Does this mean that we have no chance of conceiving, even with IUI?

Hi
You have not mentioned clearly and accurately ( number and percentage) about the sperm count and motility.
If I were your Gynecologist i would first refer him to andrologist for thorough evaluation. He needs to have semen culture sensitivity done.
If he is a smoker he should stop smoking and take antioxidants.
Don't get disappointed.
If the count and motility are very low you can go for IVF or ICSI treatment
