Patient's question:
Why do I always feel my semen volume is low? I'm 24 years old and unmarried. I used to have manual stimulation for 5 years. Recently, I had one session of manual stimulation, but the semen volume was still sufficient. However, for the past ten days, I haven't had any manual stimulation, and last night I found that my semen volume was very low. Please ask the doctor, why do I always feel my semen volume is low?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Azoospermia 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 considered azoospermia. Between 5 to 10 million per mL is moderate azoospermia; less than 5 million per mL is severe azoospermia. Common causes of azoospermia include: (1) Congenital testicular dysgenesis or cryptorchidism leading to impaired spermatogenesis (2) Varicocele of the seminal vesicles, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis (3) Inflammation of the reproductive tract (4) Immunosuppression and endocrine disorders (5) Chromosomal abnormalities, etc. Since the causes vary, the treatment methods also differ. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for examination. Based on the results, you should receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Wishing you good health!
