Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What should I do if the sperm volume is low?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) immune suppression and endocrine disorders (5) chromosomal abnormalities, especially sex chromosome aberrations, which severely affect sperm density and motility (6) the use of drugs that affect spermatogenesis, as well as factors such as insecticides, heavy metals, radiation, smoking, and alcohol intoxication, all of which can inhibit sperm production. However, a portion of patients still do not find a cause for their reduced sperm count after various examinations, which is referred to as idiopathic oligospermia. Different causes require different treatment methods.
