Can men with low sperm count have surgery for infertility?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask if surgery is a good option for infertility caused by low male sperm count?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the common causes of oligospermia include:
(1) Congenital testicular dysgenesis or cryptorchidism leading 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) Factors such as drugs affecting spermatogenesis, insecticides, heavy metals, radiation, smoking, and alcohol intoxication can all inhibit sperm production.
However, a portion of patients still cannot find a cause for their reduced sperm count after various examinations, which is referred to as idiopathic oligospermia.
It is recommended that you visit an infertility hospital for a thorough examination to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.
