Beware! These conditions can cause oligospermia

Low sperm count in men can affect fertility and in severe cases can lead to infertility. To treat low sperm count, we must first understand its cause so that we can develop an effective treatment plan. So what causes low sperm count in men? Hospital experts say that the causes of low sperm count include the following 7 aspects. Let's take a closer look!

1. Varicose veins lead to oligospermia: Varicose veins increase the local temperature of the testicles and increase vasoactive substances, thus affecting the spermatogenic function of the testicles. However, the degree of varicocele is not proportional to the quality of sperm.

2. Cryptidystomia can lead to: Oligospermia Cryptidystomia is one of the important reasons that affect the quality of semen. About 60% of patients with unilateral cryptidystomia are infertile. Therefore, if the sperm density is low and there is cryptidystomia, it must be treated as soon as possible.

3. Reproductive tract infection leading to oligospermia: Chronic infection of the accessory gonads can affect various laboratory indicators in semen.

4. Autoimmunity: Reproductive immunology studies have found that male autoimmunity can affect fertility, and anti-sperm antibodies can affect the production and transport of sperm.

5. Endocrine abnormalities: Normal spermatogenesis in men 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 gland diseases will also affect the function of the gonads and cause oligospermia.

6. Chromosomal abnormalities: Chromosomal abnormalities have a serious impact on sperm density, motility and morphology.

7. Others: Excessive scrotal temperature, radiation damage, chemical drugs and drug effects can all cause oligospermia.
