Urologist 's  Response
Hi
Asthenospermia is sperms with reduced motility. A minimum of 32% of sperms have to have strong(progressive motility) for conception to happen.

There are multiple reasons for this-smoking, alcohol, recent febrile illness with in 3 months, a condition called varicocele, working in hot environments etc.

Please have your husband examined by an urologist to identify and correct the cause.
