Improve Sperm Count with Expert Care
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.
Causes of Impotence
- ✅ Hormonal Imbalances – Low levels of testosterone or abnormalities in hormones produced by the pituitary gland.
- ✅ Varicocele – Enlarged veins in the scrotum that increase temperature and affect sperm production.
- ✅ Infections – Such as STDs, prostatitis, or inflammation in the reproductive tract.
- ✅ Genetic Conditions – Like Klinefelter syndrome or Y chromosome microdeletions.
- ✅ Lifestyle Factors – Smoking, alcohol, drug use, obesity, poor diet, and excessive stress.
- ✅ Environmental Exposure – Pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, or frequent exposure to heat (e.g., hot baths or laptops on the lap).
- ✅ Medical Treatments – Chemotherapy, radiation, or prolonged use of anabolic steroids.
Symptoms
- ✅ Reduced sex drive
- ✅ Erectile dysfunction
- ✅ Swelling or pain in the testicles
- ✅ Hormonal imbalance signs (e.g., decreased facial/body hair)
Diagnosis
- ✅ Semen Analysis – The primary test to check sperm count, motility, and shape.
- ✅ Hormone Testing – To assess testosterone and other reproductive hormones.
- ✅ Scrotal Ultrasound – To detect varicocele or abnormalities in the testicles.
- ✅ Genetic Testing – If a hereditary cause is suspected.
- ✅ Urine and Infection Tests – To check for STDs or infections that impact sperm.
