Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt very uncomfortable in my private area. After checking at the hospital, I was diagnosed with the condition. Now I'm very worried about my illness. What are the treatment methods for oligospermia?Doctor's answer:
A man's recurrent varicocele can lower the local temperature of the testes, enhance vascular active substances, and thus affect testicular spermatogenesis. However, the severity of varicocele is not proportional to sperm quality. Causes of oligospermia include testicular dysfunction and endocrine disorders that lead to incomplete development of the epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicles, resulting in insufficient semen discharge. Excessive ejaculation frequency is also one of the reasons for oligospermia. It is advisable to undergo timely and thorough examination. If inflammation is identified as the cause, prompt treatment should be initiated. Additionally, consuming foods rich in zinc, such as egg yolks, dairy products, seafood, soy products, potatoes, pumpkin, and eggplants, can help improve male semen quality. Unilateral cryptorchidism affects about 60% of patients with infertility. Therefore, if sperm density is low and cryptorchidism is present, early treatment is necessary.
