What causes low sperm count?

If you find that your sperm density is low during a sperm test, you must find the specific reason, because this situation will affect the occurrence of many problems, the most important of which is that it is not easy to conceive successfully, and it may even lead to infertility. Then the treatment will become very troublesome, so you have to find a way to increase your sperm density so that you can have a normal sex life.

Judging from the results of this examination, the sperm motility is very good and the sperm density is moderately low.

This result is possible to get pregnant, but the chance of pregnancy is not high, about 30%.

Normal sperm density needs to be greater than 20. Your condition belongs to oligospermia. The occurrence of oligospermia is related to testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction. This is caused by factors such as insufficient kidney qi, deficiency of qi and blood, and accumulation of dampness and heat. You can see a local Chinese medicine doctor to first clarify the specific symptoms of your condition, and then treat it through methods and drugs that replenish kidney qi, replenish qi and blood, and clear dampness and heat. The effect is very good. There are no side effects.

During treatment, abstain from smoking and drinking, have a regular sex life, pay attention to rest, strengthen exercise, and eat less spicy food.

[Cause] Sperm is produced in the testis, and in the seminiferous tubules of the testis, it goes through spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, secondary spermatocytes, spermatids, and finally forms mature sperm and is released into the seminiferous tubules. This is a continuous process that takes about 64 to 72 days in the seminiferous tubules. The entire process of sperm formation is regulated by endocrine hormones. Any factors that affect spermatogenesis will lead to a decrease in the number of sperm. The causes of oligospermia include the following 7 aspects: 1. Varicose veins When the spermatic veins are varicose, the local temperature of the testis increases, and vasoactive substances increase, thereby affecting the spermatogenesis of the testis. However, the degree of varicocele is not proportional to the quality of sperm.

2. Cryptorchidism Cryptorchidism is one of the important reasons that affect the quality of semen. About 60% of patients with unilateral cryptorchidism are infertile. Therefore, if the sperm density is low and there is cryptorchidism, it must be treated as soon as possible. 3. Reproductive tract infection Chronic infection of the accessory gonads can affect various laboratory indicators in semen. 4. Autoimmunity Reproductive immunology research has found that male autoimmunity can affect fertility, and antisperm antibodies can affect the production and transportation of sperm. 5. Endocrine abnormalities Male normal spermatogenesis depends on the normal function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis. Any disorder in any of these links will affect spermatogenesis. Other diseases such as thyroid and adrenal diseases will also affect gonad function and cause oligospermia. 6. Chromosomal abnormalities Chromosomal aberrations have a serious impact on sperm density, motility and morphology. 7. Other factors such as high scrotal temperature, radiation damage, chemical drugs and drug effects can all cause oligospermia.
