Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about how to treat oligospermia effectively. My colleague complained that he has oligospermia and has been married for many years, but his wife has still not been pregnant. What kind of condition is this? How can oligospermia be treated to be cured?Doctor's answer:
From the above, it appears you have oligospermia, which 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 to 10 million per ml, it is moderate oligospermia; less than 5 million per ml, it is severe oligospermia. Common causes of oligospermia include:(1) Congenital testicular dysgenesis or cryptorchidism, which can lead to impaired spermatogenesis
(2) Varicocele and 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) Factors that impair spermatogenesis, such as medications, pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, smoking, and alcohol intoxication, all suppress sperm production.
It is recommended that you choose a regular specialized hospital for a detailed examination to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.
