Oligospermia

Oligospermia is a condition in which a male produces anything under 15 million sperms. In the absence of this condition, a fertile man produces anywhere from 15 million to over 200 million sperm per millilitre of semen. The low sperm count reduces the possibility of conceiving of your partner.

Causes of Oligospermia

A number of causes have been found to be associated with oligospermia. These causes can range from medical to lifestyle. Some of the common cause of oligospermia are:

  • Chronic or long-term emotional stress
  • Recreational drugs
  • Anabolic steroid use
  • Genetic condition or inherited disorder
  • Hormone imbalance
  • Undescended testicles
  • Infections that interfere with sperm production
  • Radiations
  • Poor general health
  • Testicular factors
  • Immunology problems
  • Medical issues like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, etc.

Treatment of Oligospermia

Oligospermia can be a result of various factors, and assisted reproductive treatment is often employed to improve fertility. Treatment may range from lifestyle changes to hormonal (antioxidant/ medication) and surgical methods (varicocele, microsurgery, etc.).
