Patient's question:
Married for over ten years without pregnancy, previously checked for low sperm count and treated at private hospitals, but without any effect.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your situation, the common factors or causes of oligospermia include: (1) Congenital testicular dysgenesis or cryptorchidism leading to impaired spermatogenesis (2) Varicocele, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis (3) Inflammation of the reproductive tract (4) Immunosuppression and endocrine disorders (5) Chromosomal abnormalities, particularly sex chromosome aberrations, which severely affect sperm density and motility (6) Use of drugs that affect spermatogenesis, as well as factors such as insecticides, heavy metals, radiation, smoking, and alcohol intoxication, all of which can inhibit sperm production. However, a portion of patients still do not find any identifiable factors or causes after various examinations, which is referred to as idiopathic oligospermia. Treatment methods vary depending on the factors or causes. It is recommended that you seek detailed examination and diagnosis at a specialized hospital for symptomatic treatment, and do not miss the best time for treatment. Wishing you good health.
