Overall health and lifestyle variables such as stress are the most common reasons of low sperm count. Hormone imbalances, chemotherapy, radiation, tumors, or sexually transmitted infections may all have an impact on sperm count.
<\/p>\n
Sperm count may be impacted by many factors, which may include:<\/p>\n
1. Medical conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n Infections and inflammations such as gonorrhea, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), orchitis, and epididymitis<\/p>\n Varicocele (enlargement of the veins within the scrotum)<\/p>\n Retrograde ejaculation (a condition in which the semen enters the bladder during an orgasm instead of coming out of the tip of the penis)<\/p>\n Nerve diseases due to diabetes or spinal injuries<\/p>\n Injury or surgery in the pelvic area<\/p>\n Certain autoimmune diseases.<\/p>\n 2. Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n Alpha-blockers<\/p>\n Anabolic steroids<\/p>\n Certain antibiotics<\/p>\n Anti-ulcer medications<\/p>\n 3. Environmental causes<\/strong><\/p>\n Heavy metals<\/p>\n Industrial solvents and other chemicals<\/p>\n Radiation exposure<\/p>\n High temperature<\/p>\n 4. Lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n Alcohol or drug abuse<\/p>\n Smoking<\/p>\n Stress<\/p>\n Being overweight<\/p>\n What factors determine sperm health?<\/strong><\/p>\n The normal sperm count is 20-150 million sperm per milliliter of sperm sample, albeit this can vary slightly from test to lab.<\/p>\n A disorder known as azoospermia affects some men who may not have any sperm in their semen sample. Low sperm counts may lower fertility, but because fertility often depends on sperm cell quality, many men are still able to conceive with their female partners in spite of this.<\/p>\n Besides sperm count, other factors that determine sperm health include:\u00a0<\/p>\n Motility or movement – <\/strong>To navigate the female reproductive system, find the egg (ovum), and fertilize it, sperm cells must be movable.<\/p>\n Morphology or structure –<\/strong> The sperm must have a typical form, which includes an oval head and a lengthy tail that work together to drive it.<\/p>\n At least 60% of the sperm cells in a semen sample must move well and have appropriate morphology for the sample to be considered healthy.<\/p>\n Content created and supplied by: Bronzeman (via Opera \n , . , .
