Both men and women may have infertility. Male infertility, in particular, is a disorder that affects individuals who were chosen as male at birth (AMAB) and prevents their reproductive system from successfully impregnating an individual who was allocated female at birth (AFAB).
The inability to conceive is the primary indicator of low sperm count. There may not be any further overt symptoms or indicators. Signs and symptoms can sometimes be caused by an underlying issue in males, such as an inherited chromosomal defect, a hormonal imbalance, swollen testicular veins, or a disorder that prevents sperm from passing through.
1. Symptoms of a low sperm count could include:
issues relating to sexual function, such as decreased sex desire or trouble sustaining an erection (erectile dysfunction).
2. extend, pain, or swelling near the testicles.
3. Reduced body or facial hair, as well as other indications of chromosomal or hormone abnormalities.
4. Reduced desire for sex and erectile dysfunction
Low sperm count and other abnormalities in sperm count can have several causes. The following are the causes:
Infections, surgeries, and present and past medical issues: Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia, mumps, and urinary tract infections can cause scars that prevent sperm from passing easily from the testicles to the penis. Sperm flow blocks, diabetes, certain medical treatments, and spinal cord injuries can all cause retrograde (reverse) ejaculation.
Genetic or disease-related conditions: Low sperm count can be brought on by a number of chronic illnesses and the drugs used to treat them. Males who have low sperm counts may be suffering from conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, peripheral vascular disease, prostate or testicular cancer.
Heat: The ideal temperature for your testicles to perform at is a little bit lower than your body temperature. Heat-related events that affect the development of sperm include: testicles not descended. If the testicles are still up close to the crotch, they are too hot. The noticeable, twisted veins that cause varicocele veins can cause the testicles to become hot.
Drugs and medications: Illegal and prescription drug use can lower your sperm count. Several medical specialties could be affected. Testosterone, methadone, lamotrigine, clomipramine, prednisone, methotrexate, finasteride, and sirolimus are a few of these medications.
Stress: It's yet unknown exactly how stress affects semen quality negatively. Studies have demonstrated that stress can cause the release of glucocorticoids, a steroid hormone that can reduce sperm production and testosterone levels. Oxidative stress is an additional possibility; it has been shown to affect fertility as well as the quality of sperm and semen.
Depending on the cause of your low sperm count, you can get a different course of treatment.
Surgery: For example, a blocked vas deferens can also often be corrected surgically, as can varicoceles. It is possible to undo past vasectomy operations. Sperm retrieval procedures can be used to extract sperm directly from the testicles.
Eliminating infections from the body: Although an infection of the reproductive system can be treated with antibiotics, fertility is not always recovered.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): This IVF technique is referred to as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). In order to fertilize an egg, one sperm is introduced into its cytoplasm throughout this process. The fertilized egg is then inserted into the woman's womb.
Gonadotrophin hormone therapy: If your levels of the hormone gonadotrophin, which stimulates the formation of sperm, are abnormally low, you should be prescribed gonadotrophin medicine as a therapeutic alternative. However, since hormone-based drugs aren't known to boost fertility in these circumstances, you won't be prescribed them if your aberrant sperm count has no known explanation.
Lifestyle changes and natural remedies: You can make changes to your routine at home, like having more sex sessions with your partner, to boost your chances of getting pregnant. If you and your partner have regular sex beginning at least four days prior to ovulation, there is a greater chance that you may become pregnant.
Medication or counseling can increase fertility in situations such as low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, or early ejaculation. The best course of action is to see your doctor right away for a diagnosis and treatment.
