  • Oligospermia (Low Sperm Count)


    Oligospermia refers to when the semen has low concentration of sperm. Oftentimes, semen with decreased sperm concentration may also show significant abnormalities in sperm morphology and motility.


    What causes Oligospermia?

    • Poor hormonal support
    • Surgery
    • Chemotherapy
    • Radiation
    • Infection
    • Natural aging
    • Poor general health
    • Steriods
    • Testicular factors, such as Varicocele  
    • Immunology problems (one’s own body attacks the sperm)

    Other obstacles with the semen could include:

    • Asthenospermia: The sperm has very low motility and thus is very low quality
    • Teratospermia: Abnormal morphology
