Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to consult about the best treatment for oligospermia. 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 and kept treating her badly. Later, when we went to the hospital for a check-up, we found out that I have azoospermia. How should oligospermia be treated the best?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, this symptom is likely related to masturbation. It is recommended to avoid frequent masturbation or abstain from it for a period of time to see if the condition improves. Generally, this should alleviate the issue. Additionally, focus on a high-protein diet to strengthen your immune system, and avoid prolonged sitting by engaging in more physical activity. The reasons for a low sperm count include: 1. Incomplete maturation or damage to the spermatogenic epithelium in the testes, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility; 2. Low seminal fluid volume; 3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as inflammation in the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate, which can negatively affect sperm activity and survival due to changes in pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolism. If anti-sperm antibodies are present, they can cause sperm agglutination, rendering them inactive.
