| 🧬 Understanding Oligospermia: Causes and Solutions for Low Sperm Count |
👨⚕️ What is Oligospermia?
Oligospermia is a condition where the sperm count in a man’s semen is lower than normal. A healthy sperm count is considered to be 15 million sperm per milliliter or more. When the count falls below this level, it may become difficult for a couple to conceive naturally.
At Harsh Hospital, Himatnagar, we specialize in diagnosing and treating male infertility with confidentiality, care, and proven results.
🔍 Common Causes of Oligospermia
1️⃣ Hormonal Imbalances
The pituitary gland and hypothalamus regulate sperm production. Any imbalance in hormones like testosterone, FSH, or LH can lower sperm count.
2️⃣ Varicocele
This is a condition where the veins in the scrotum become enlarged, increasing temperature and affecting sperm production and quality.
3️⃣ Infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), mumps, or inflammation of reproductive organs (e.g., epididymitis, orchitis) can reduce sperm production.
4️⃣ Lifestyle Factors
-
Smoking
-
Excessive alcohol
-
Illicit drugs
-
Obesity
-
Stress
-
Lack of exercise
These habits negatively affect both sperm count and sperm motility.
5️⃣ Heat Exposure
Frequent use of hot tubs, saunas, or even tight clothing can raise scrotal temperature, lowering sperm production.
6️⃣ Environmental Toxins
Exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, or workplace chemicals may harm sperm-producing cells.
7️⃣ Medical Conditions & Medications
-
Diabetes
-
Thyroid disorders
-
Past surgeries (e.g., hernia repair, testicular surgery)
-
Long-term use of steroids or certain antidepressants
8️⃣ Genetic or Structural Abnormalities
Chromosomal defects (like Klinefelter syndrome) or blockages in the reproductive tract can also lead to low sperm count.
