Low Sperm Count: Causes, Symptoms

Low sperm count, medically known as oligospermia, refers to a condition where the semen ejaculated during orgasm contains fewer sperm than usual. In severe cases where no sperm is present in the semen, it is termed azoospermia. Typically, a sperm count is considered lower than normal if it falls below 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.

While having a low sperm count can reduce the likelihood of fertilizing a partner’s egg and achieving pregnancy, it’s important to note that many men with this condition can still father a child.

Symptoms of low sperm count may not always be obvious, with the inability to conceive being the primary indication. However, some men may experience additional signs, potentially indicating an underlying issue such as a hormonal imbalance, genetic abnormality, or blockage in the sperm passage. These symptoms may include:

  • Sexual function problems like low libido or erectile dysfunction
  • Pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicle area
  • Decreased facial or body hair, or other signs of chromosomal or hormonal irregularities

If you’ve been attempting to conceive for a year without success, or if you’re experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, it’s advisable to consult a doctor. Seeking medical attention promptly is particularly crucial if you’re facing erection or ejaculation difficulties, have a history of genital surgery, or notice any unusual discomfort in the groin or testicle area. Early intervention can help identify any underlying issues and explore suitable treatment options to improve fertility and overall reproductive health.
