Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about the best treatment for oligospermia. Recently, I have been feeling that the amount of sperm I discharge during intercourse with my partner is relatively low. I am currently trying to conceive, and after an examination, it was found that I have oligospermia. What should a man do if he has oligospermia? How should oligospermia be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
What is the best treatment for oligospermia?Hello: Oligospermia accounts for the majority of infertility cases. A normal semen sample contains more than 20 million sperm per mL. If the sperm count is less than 20 million per mL, it is classified as oligospermia. Between 5 million and 10 million per mL is considered moderate oligospermia, while less than 5 million per mL is severe oligospermia.
Common causes of oligospermia include:
(1) Congenital testicular dysgenesis or cryptorchidism, which impair sperm production
(2) Varicocele and hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis
(3) Inflammation of the reproductive tract
(4) Immunosuppression and endocrine disorders
(5) Chromosomal abnormalities, especially sex chromosome aberrations, which severely affect sperm density and motility
(6) Drugs, pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, smoking, and alcohol intoxication that affect spermatogenesis can all inhibit sperm production.
It is recommended that you undergo further testing to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
Wishing you good health! I hope this answers your question about the best treatment for oligospermia!
