Tracysimon22 May, 2025Health

Common signs of low sperm count (oligospermia) include difficulty conceiving, reduced sex drive, erectile issues, and pain or swelling in the testicular area. Causes may involve hormonal imbalances, varicocele, infections, lifestyle factors like smoking or alcohol, and environmental toxins. Improving fertility can include lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, reducing stress, avoiding heat exposure to the testicles, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol. Medical treatments such as hormone therapy, surgery for varicocele, or assisted reproductive techniques like IVF may also help. Regular medical checkups and early diagnosis are essential for effective treatment.
