Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have recently experienced a decrease in sperm count during sexual activity, so I would like to know what tests are required for this condition.Doctor's answer:
The examination for oligospermia mainly includes routine semen analysis (including seminal pH, viscosity, liquefaction, semen volume, color, sperm count, sperm motility, and seminal cell examination), routine prostate examination, endocrine testing, and color Doppler ultrasound (this method can detect subclinical varicocele). It is recommended to implement examination and treatment as early as possible. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma. A low sperm density in semen analysis is indicative of oligospermia. Possible causes include varicocele, endocrine disorders, cryptorchidism, and others.
