Astheno-zoospermia is a pathology of copulatory function, manifested by a low degree of sperm motility due to their reduced viability. Factors contributing to the development of asthenesis are uremia, obesity, prolonged use of alcohol, exposure to ionizing radiation, heavy metals, and the like. Along with poor nutrition and vitamin and mineral deficiency, the causes of asthenia may be of a hereditary and genetic nature. Most often, the syndrome is diagnosed in middle-aged men 35–45 years old who, at the onset of the disease, have children from several abortions. Since the pathology may be of an immune nature, the patient also experiences anomalies in other organs and systems: immunological (vasculitis, chronic urticaria, Loeffler's syndrome), hypercortisolism, lack of thyroid hormones, malignant tumors, tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus and other pathological conditions.
