obsolete non-syndromic male infertility due to sperm motility disorder
MONDO:0017173
OBSOLETE. Non-syndromic male infertility due to sperm motility disorder is a rare, genetic, non-syndromic male infertility disorder characterized by infertility due to sperm with defects in their cilia/flagella structure, leading to absent motility or reduced forward motility in fresh ejaculate. Reduced semen volume, oligospermia and an increased number of abnormally structured spermatozoa is often present.

Asthenozoospermia (or asthenospermia) is the medical term for reduced sperm motility. Complete asthenozoospermia, that is, 100% immotile spermatozoa in the ejaculate, is reported at a frequency of 1 of 5000 men. Causes of complete asthenozoospermia include metabolic deficiencies, ultrastructural abnormalities of the sperm flagellum (see Primary ciliary dyskinesia) and necrozoospermia. It decreases the sperm quality and is therefore one of the major causes of infertility or reduced fertility in men. A method to increase the chance of pregnancy is ICSI. The percentage of viable spermatozoa in complete asthenozoospermia varies between 0 and 100%.
