A sperm and an egg combine to produce an offspring. When it becomes difficult to conceive, most men begin to worry about the quality and quantity of their sperm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sperm problem may come as a surprise unless you&#8217;ve had previous cancer treatment or have suffered a groin\/spinal cord injury. Both of these conditions are known to impair fertility. When there are less than 15 million sperm per millilitre, it is known as \u201clow sperm count.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impaired sperm production can be a result of hormonal imbalances. If one has an autoimmune condition, their own attacking antibodies can damage their sperm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Risk factors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low sperm count can be caused by environmental and personal factors. Avoid lifestyle and exposure risk factors, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use of illicit drugs, such as anabolic steroids, narcotics, and marijuana<\/li><li>The use of paint and other household cleaning products that contain hazardous industrial chemicals<\/li><li>Excess exposure to lead and other heavy metals<\/li><li>Exposing your testicles to excessive heat regularly, whether in a hot tub or a steam room<\/li><li>Use of alcohol<\/li><li>Smoking<\/li><li>Overweight or obesity<\/li><li>Psychological stress and depression<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Signs and symptoms<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Unable to conceive naturally<\/li><li>Incapability to have sex (low libido, erectile dysfunction)<\/li><li>Pain\/discomfort, lump(s), or swelling in the testicles<\/li><li>Loss of the body or facial hair as a sign of a hormonal or chromosomal problem<\/li><li>Any of the above symptoms should prompt a visit to the doctor, who can diagnose and start treatment.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Low sperm count and medical issues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Male fertility can be affected by a wide range of medical conditions and treatments, with the result that sperm count may drop. If you are facing the same, a visit to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/sexologist-in-dehradun.php\"> <\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/sexologist-in-dehradun.php\">best sexologist in Dehradun<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/sexologist-in-dehradun.php\"> <\/a>would help treat it effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hormonal imbalance can also cause impaired sperm production. Additionally, if you suffer from an autoimmune disease, your sperm may be damaged by antibodies directed against your cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celiac disease, a digestive disorder, can also cause issues with male fertility, which can be resolved by eating less gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-bedbible-11219937-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-bedbible-11219937-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pexels-bedbible-11219937-2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Source:pexels.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Counting sperm is the first step in treating low sperm count, and also the concentration, motility, and morphology of the sperm. Additionally, a physical examination like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/\">low sperm count treatment<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/male-infertility-treatment.php\"> <\/a>is conducted to see if there is an underlying health issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both surgery and medication can be used as low sperm count treatment, and they are often used in conjunction with dietary and exercise to improve overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a low sperm count can be a contributing factor to a male fertility issue, but there are many other factors to consider. It is best to consult with a male fertility specialist as soon as possible if you have a low sperm count.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/LowSperm-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/LowSperm-2.jpg 518w, https:\/\/www.drskjain.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/LowSperm-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><figcaption>Source: Pixel.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In any fertilization process, the male sperm is required to supply half of the genetic material needed to create a new life.
