Symptoms and Treatment for Oligospermia or Sperm Count

Oligospermia (also known as Oligozoospermia) is one of the medical symptoms of low sperm count which affects only the men. The men who are suffering from this medical condition usually have less than 20 millions of spermatozoa per ml of sperm. Oligospermia has many different causes because many medical conditions may reduce the concentration of the sperm and its effects may be temporary or permanent.

One of the causes of this medical condition is the Y chromosome microdeletion (also known as YCM) which is a family of genetic disorders which appears as a result of a missing gene in the Y chromosome. The majorities of the men who have YCM are asymptomatic and have normal lives, but have a reduced fertility. Other causes of the Oligospermia include the following: working in high temperature zones, varicocele and the chronic infections in the urinary tract may also lead to the appearance of this medical condition, isolated gonadotropin deficiency, cushing syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, hemochromatosis, Klinefelter syndrome, XX male syndrome, FSH deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, vitamin C, selenium, zinc and folate deficiencies.

Also the men who are smoking, who consume alcohol, are obese or are under chemotherapy treatment may have this medical condition. Other factors include the psychological ones such as mental stress, depression and anxiety. In the cases of temporarily reduced sperm counts the factors which lead to it are: high fever and temperatures, certain drugs and poisons, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, and certain severe illnesses. In the cases of permanent reduced sperm counts the factors are: varicose veins around the testicles, inflammation of the testicles, radiation exposure and radiotherapy.

Oligospermia – Symptoms

It is well known the fact that any medical disorder (including Oligospermia) can trigger a variety of symptoms. Therefore, some of this medical condition's most uncommon symptoms have not been listed (mentioned) here. This is why we strongly recommend you to contact your personal health care provider whenever you develop any unusual, bothersome or unpleasant symptoms. Your personal physician will be able to tell you if you are suffering from Oligospermia or from any other medical disorder.

Here is a list of the most common symptoms that a person who suffers from Oligospermia, may experience, although each individual experiences them differently. In the cases in which the patients have vitamin C deficiency as one of the underlying cause, they may experience: easy bruising, swollen and painful joints, nosebleeds, frequent infections, anemia (this includes: weakness, tiredness, paleness), slow healing of the wounds and fatigue. The persons who have XX male syndrome will experience: small testicles, gynecomastia, and sterility. Many men who suffer from this medical condition usually have effeminate characteristics. The persons who have zinc deficiencies have hypogonadism.

The men who suffer from isolated gonadotropin deficiencies are usually infertile, as well as those who have FSH deficiencies and those who have hyperprolactinemia. The men suffering from hemochromatosis develop testicular atrophy as a result of the pituitary gland failure and abdominal pain. The men who have been diagnosed with the Klinefelter syndrome have small and firm testicles, small penis, sexual problems and gynecomastia (meaning the enlargement of the breasts).

There are a few precautions which the patients suffering from Oligospermia must respect before and during the homeopathic treatment, such as: they are not allowed to take any hormonal treatment with a month before beginning this treatment and during it, the patients should make a semen analysis before beginning the treatment and after finishing it in order to see the evolution of the disease and the results of the treatment, the patients should try as much as possible to avoid food supplements, vitamins and sexual tonics during the homeopathic treatment.

Fewer than 6% of the infertile men suffer from a hormonal disorder which in normal conditions may be treated with a hormone therapy based on oral drugs. In the cases of men who are suffering from Oligospermia the gonadotropines are chosen as a treatment. Other treatments include antibiotics which are used to treat this medical condition when its underlying cause is an infection and bromocriptine when the underlying cause is the hyperprolactinemia. The most common hormones used in the treatment of the patients who are suffering from Oligospermia are human chorionic gonadotropin (which is also known as hCG) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (which is also known as rFSH).

In the cases in which this medical condition is due to anatomical problems and abnormalities in the male reproductive system the surgery is needed. In some of the cases the infertility appears as a cause of older infections and inflammation which leave scarring and adhesions which can be corrected surgically. Doctors may also prescribe to their patients injections with clomiphene citrate, HMG and HCG in order to ameliorate the symptoms. Other drugs which are usually prescribed in this medical condition include vitamin E, anti-oxidants, high-protein diets and vitamin C.
