CAUSES OF LOW SPERM COUNT IN MEN

 

What is low sperm count /oligozoospermia,. is a situation where a man has fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Having a low sperm count can make it more difficult to conceive naturally, although successful pregnancies can still occur.

Signs of low sperm count

• Problems with sexual function — for example, low sex drive or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction).
• Pain, swelling, or a lump in the testicle area.
• Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosome or hormone abnormality.

Causes of low sperm count

• Smoking.
•  drinking alcohol.
•  taking certain medications.
• long-term sickness (such as kidney failure).
• childhood infections (such as mumps).
•  chromosome or hormone problems (such as low testosterone).

The main cause of low sperm count is incomplete or improper collection of a sperm sample.

How to check your sperm count at home? you collect a semen sample by ejaculating into a small cup although the best place is at the hospital because there is a laboratory. At home, you can not get accurate tests. 

How sperm count is checked at the laboratory

1. Semen volume.
2. The total number of sperm.
3. Sperm concentration.
4. Percentage of sperm alive in a sample (vitality).
5. Movement of sperm (motility).
6. The shape of sperm (morphology).

What kills sperm count

1. The use of cocaine or marijuana may temporarily reduce the number and quality of your sperm as well as kill your sperm count. 
2. Alcohol use. Drinking alcohol can lower testosterone levels, cause erectile dysfunction and decrease sperm production. 
3. Liver disease caused by excessive drinking also may lead to fertility problems.

    How to fix low sperm count

• IVF with ICSI is often the best treatment option for men with low sperm counts. 
• Hormonal treatment: If a male patient has low levels of the pituitary hormones that stimulate sperm production, we may attempt hormonal treatment before considering more invasive options (such as IVF with ICSI).

How to increase sperm count naturally

Fast Maintain a healthy weight. Some research suggests that increasing body mass index (BMI) is linked with decreasing sperm count and sperm movement. Second Eat a healthy diet. ThirdPrevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Forth Manage stress. Firth Get moving.

Foods that increase sperm count

• Green leafy vegetables.
• Beans (legumes).

Can masturbation cause low sperm count? the answer is no. Some data shows that optimum semen quality occurs after two to three days of no ejaculation. But other research suggests that men who have normal sperm quality maintain normal sperm motility and concentrations even with daily ejaculation.

Symptoms of low sperm count

1. The inability to conceive naturally (no female fertility issue present)
2. Sexual dysfunction (low libido, erectile dysfunction)
3. Testicular abnormalities (pain/discomfort, lump(s), or swelling)
4. Evidence of a hormonal or chromosomal issue (loss of body/facial hair)

Typically low sperm count is because of congenital factors for instance Klinefelter syndrome is a very common disorder which happens which affects 400 men so where there is an additional x chromosome and also there could be some abnormalities in the Y chromosome itself or a y chromosome. 

Microdeletion these are the cause of very low sperm count or asus permea so some there are some conditions that can actually cause an acquired there can be an acquired cause for a low sperm count, for example, an infection of the testis typically mumps arthritis.

 Can cause an uh reduction in sperm count there are certain other disorders that prevent the transport of spermatozoa from the testis into the seminal vesicle and so on and so forth so these disorders which cause obstructive asospermia. 

Are also prevalent in obstructive azoospermia you have a situation where the sperm is

being produced normally but it does not come out because of various problems cystic fibrosis is a common cause for this kind of disorder it's a congenital disorder a disorder with. 

Which you are born and it cannot be changed other disorders include tuberculosis tuberculosis can affect the collection system of the testis which leads the sperm out from the testis into the seminal vesicle and outside you can also have ejaculatory duct obstruction also so. 

Are all some causes for Asus permea or a low sperm count so asus permea presents a poor prognosis generally because most of the time solving the problem will require a severe intervention like a surgeon has to extract the sperm and do an intracytoplasmic sperm injection. 

This is a difficult process or you know it could sometimes be incurable but there are some disorders where the sperm count is less but not zero so these conditions are enigmatic for which we really do not know. 

What exactly the reason is in many occasions actually but over a period of time with persistence and with assistance consumption does happen in couples where the male partner has a low sperm count. Hope you learned something new.
