Brief Answer:
Causes are Many

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand you wish to know about Asthenoteratozoospermia causes and treatment.

Asthenospermia means slow motility of sperms and teratospermia means abnormal structure (morphology) of sperms.

The causes could be as follows:

1) Age related: Increased age leads to increased incidences of asthenoteratozoospermia.

2) Smoking: Smoking leads to increase in incidences of these , hence please stop smoking and alcohol if you do have habit.

3) Some disease like crohn's disease, hodgkin's disease cause this. Let me know if you have any such diseases.

4) Sometimes it is due to chromosomal mutations in you that leads to aneuploidy.

5) In some there is no reason for this. It occurs spontaneously.

Treatment would be as follows:

1) Start medicines that contain L- Carnitine, Vitamin C, Zinc, Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin A. These are specifically known to improve asthenoteratozoospermia in some men.

2) Stop smoking and alcohol if you have habit.

3) Have diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids like fish, oyster and mussels. Also have zinc rich diet. Spinach cabbage and broccoli are good source.

4) Continue the medicines you are already taking.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications or informations.
