Teratozoospermia is defined as abnormal sperm morphology. It is a sperm disorder that causes males affected to produced abnormally shaped sperm.

It is considered a cause of male infertility, and its causes are varied or even unknown.

There exist natural treatment to have a baby with abnormal sperm morphology. If at least 4% of sperms have a normal shape, the male is considered fertile and able to cause a pregnancy in a woman naturally.

The only possible way to examine the morphology of sperm is by means of a semen analysis or seminogram.

CAUSES OF TERATOZOOSPERMIA

Teratozoospermia is associated with male infertility in all cases, as it means that sperm are unable to meet the egg due to their abnormal shape.

The causes of abnormal sperm morphology are varied and in most cases difficult to determine. The following are the most common ones:

• Genetic traits
• Cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiotherapy)
• Bacterial infections in sperm and orchitis
• Testicular trauma
• Testicular disorders, like varicocele
• Fever
• Diabetes mellitus (DM) or meningitis
• Tobacco, alcohol and street drug use
• Unhealthy habits: unbalanced diet, exposure to toxic substances, too tight clothes, etc.

The good news is that teratozoospermia can be cured in some of these cases. For example, if caused by fever, infections, or stress, the man is likely to start producing normal sperm again once these conditions disappear. If the cause is associated with unhealthy habits, picking up healthier habits such as following a balanced diet, quitting smoking, etc. can improve sperm quality.
