Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask how to treat oligospermia better? My wife and I have been married for many years, but she hasn't been able to get pregnant. At first, our family thought it was her problem, so they always gave her a hard time. Later, when we went to the hospital for a check-up, the results showed that I had azoospermia. I would like to ask how oligospermia should be treated?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 dysgenesis 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!
