Do not confuse semen with sperm count

Unless you have microscopic eyes, you cannot tell if you have a low sperm count

As far as seminal output goes, that depends on a lot of factors

Low sperm count (Oligozoospermia) is one of the main causes of male infertility. It is considered that a man has low sperm count when he has less than 20 million spermatozoa per one ml of ejaculate.

A great number of medical conditions as well as many biologic and environmental factors can cause low sperm count temporarily or permanently. Unfortunately, the reliable treatments for increasing sperm count are not as many.

Some commonly used medications and supplements for increasing sperm count are testosterone, certain vitamins, high-protein diets, anti-oxidants, and herbal semen enhancement pills. The effectiveness of most of these has not been clinically tested; yet, there are some quality semen enhancement pills that show significant results in improving both sperm count and quality.

Causes of Low Sperm Count

Here are some of the possible causes of low sperm count:

* Problems with sperm production – such problems can be genetic (for example Klinefelter’s syndrome) or based on a hormonal disorder
* Testicular injury and disease – injuries that affect the testicles may affect sperm production and cause low sperm count
* Malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies – deficiency of some nutrients (for example Zinc, Selenium, vitamin C, etc.) may also lead to low sperm count
* Overheating – excessive heat from saunas, hot tubs, etc. may decrease sperm production and lower sperm count
* Smoking – smoking cigarettes may impair male fertility since it is known to reduce sperm count and sperm lifespan
* Drugs – the use of cocaine and heavy marijuana is known to reduce sperm count by 50%
* Excessive alcohol consumption – alcohol is toxic to sperm and may reduce sperm count and quality
* Prescribed medications – many prescription medications are known to reduce sperm count and decrease fertility
* Environmental toxins, radiation and heavy metals – a number of environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins or chemicals, can reduce sperm count either by affecting testicular function directly or by affecting the hormone system
* Obesity – many studies find association between low sperm count and obesity in men
* Stress and excessive physical or mental exertion – these can cause some hormonal changes in the body that can affect sperm count and fertility
* Varicocele – it is not clear how exactly this condition causes infertility in men
* Bicycling – blood vessels and nerves may be damaged due to the pressure from the bike seat

Tests and Diagnosis of Low Sperm Count

If you and your partner experience problems getting pregnant you should see a doctor. Sperm production is complex – low sperm count can be caused by many factors and should be treated depending on the exact cause.

low sperm count

Your doctor will test you and carefully examine your reproductive organs in order to find the underlying cause of your fertility problem. You will also have to answer various questions about your medical history as well as different sexual issues.

As part of your examination, you will have to give a semen sample which will be analyzed and the sperm count will be measured. Since sperm count measurements may vary widely from sample to sample you will probably have to give more than one semen sample.

Anything less than 20 million sperm per milliliter is considered low sperm count. If your sperm count is lower than this number, you may want to consider undergoing a proper treatment.

Volume

The volume of the sample is measured. WebMD advises that volumes between 1.0 mL and 6.5 mL are normal;[2] WHO criteria specify that any volume greater than 2.0 mL is normal. Low volume may indicate partial or complete blockage of the seminal vesicles, or that the man was born without seminal vesicles.[1] In clinical practice, a volume of less than 2 mL in the setting of infertility and absent sperm should prompt an evaluation for obstructive azoospermia. A caveat to this is be sure it has been at least 48 hours since the last ejaculation to time of sample collection.

Treatment for Low Sperm Count

The treatment for low sperm count that will be assigned to you will depend on its cause.

However, sometimes the real cause of low sperm count is never found. Additionally, many disorders affecting sperm production cannot be cured at all or do not respond well to treatment.

Yet, this does not mean that you should be reconciled to the problem. There are a lot of things you can do to reduce the risk of low sperm count.

* Switch to a healthier, balanced diet, rich in vegetables and whole grains.
* Exercise regularly.
* Try to reduce stress.
* Keep weight off; if you are overweight, lose the excess weight.
* Don’t smoke.
* Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption.
* Don’t use recreational drugs.
* Ejaculate less often; maintain a gap of three days between ejaculations.
* Avoid tight underwear, saunas, ho

No you don’t, just don’t worry about it

No, you don’t have a low sperm count, and can only tell anyway by having a lab test. Sperm cells only make up about a drop of the semen so even if you had no sperm, you would not tell it by your semen volume.
