Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about the best treatment for oligospermia. Recently, I've been having intercourse with my partner and always feel that the amount of semen released is relatively low. I'm currently trying to conceive, and after a check-up, I was told 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 considered oligospermia. Between 5 to 10 million per mL is moderate oligospermia; less than 5 million per mL is severe oligospermia. Common causes of oligospermia include: (1) Congenital testicular developmental disorders or cryptorchidism, which can lead to impaired spermatogenesis (2) Varicocele, 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 tests to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health! I hope my answer on what the best treatment for oligospermia is can help you!
