Low sperm count, also known as Oligospermia, is a common male fertility issue where the number of sperm in a man's semen is lower than normal. This condition can significantly reduce the chances of natural conception and is one of the leading causes of male infertility. A healthy sperm count is typically considered to be 15 million sperm per milliliter or more. Anything below this may require medical attention.
Several factors can contribute to low sperm count, including hormonal imbalances, varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum), infections, lifestyle habits like smoking, alcohol use, or drug abuse, as well as stress, obesity, and excessive heat exposure (like frequent use of hot tubs or tight underwear). Environmental toxins and long-term use of certain medications can also reduce sperm production.
