Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out I have oligospermia, which might lead to infertility. I'm very worried. I got married late, and my mom really wants to have a grandchild as soon as possible. What if my condition doesn't improve? Are there any treatments available for oligospermia?Doctor's answer:
1. Too few sperm: A normal semen sample should contain at least 20 million sperm per milliliter. A lower count reduces the chances of pregnancy.2. Erectile dysfunction: The penis cannot become erect or remains soft, making sexual intercourse impossible.
3. Hematospermia: Semen appears pink or contains streaks of blood.
4. Leukocytospermia: Refers to the presence of sperm in male urine or a cloudy, semen-like discharge after urination.
5. Male infertility symptoms - Azoospermia: Includes obstructive azoospermia and non-obstructive azoospermia. Obstructive azoospermia can be caused by infections or congenital testicular defects. Non-obstructive azoospermia may result from chromosomal abnormalities, cryptorchidism, or mumps contracted during childhood, leading to male infertility.
