Sperm deficiency is also known as low sperm count, or medically as Oligospermia. It is one of the major factors that cause male infertility.
In most cases, the exact cause for reduced sperm count cannot be identified precisely. However, the following are some of the most common causes that lead to low sperm counts.
1. Varicocele: This is a condition in which the sperm count or production is affected due to a swollen vein in the scrotum. This can be rectified easily with the help of a minor surgery.
2. Damaged Sperm Ducts: Injuries, surgeries or hereditary can also be possible factors that impair the functioning of the delicate ducts that transfer sperm from the testicles to the penis.
3. Auto Immune System: In this condition a person’s immune system attacks his own sperm as a response to certain antibodies contained in his sperm.
4. Hormonal Imbalance
Preventive measures
1. Smoking affects one’s sexual desire more commonly referred to as libido. It also affects the sperm quality as well as sperm production. Therefore avoiding cigarettes is good. Drinking lots of alcohol a day can also have similar effects on one’s sexual health. Indulging in recreational drugs too displays similar effects.
2. Being overweight can also affect sperm production. Therefore, exercising regularly will help you overcome this condition.
3. Hot bath is capable of temporarily reducing one’s sperm count. However, if continued over a long period of time its effects could be more permanent. Avoiding that will help improve the condition.
4. Avoid wearing tight undergarments as these create additional heat near the testicles. This excess heat can also affect a person’s sperm count.
