Patient's question:
Recently, I've always felt very uncomfortable in my private area. After checking at the hospital, I was diagnosed with it. Now I'm very worried about my condition. What are the treatment methods for oligospermia?Doctor's answer:
A man's recurrent varicocele can cause a decrease in local testicular temperature, an increase in vasoactive substances, thereby affecting testicular spermatogenesis. However, the severity of varicocele is not proportional to sperm quality. Causes of oligospermia include testicular dysfunction and endocrine disorders, which lead to incomplete development of the epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicles, resulting in insufficient semen discharge. Excessive frequency of ejaculation 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 approximately 60% of patients with infertility. Therefore, if sperm density is low and cryptorchidism is present, early treatment is necessary.
