Low Sperm Count: Causes and Treatments in Men

Male infertility is more common than many people realize – and one of the leading causes is low sperm count. At MHRT Hospitals, led by fertility expert Dr. Roya Rozati, we help couples identify and treat male infertility effectively. If you’re in Hyderabad and struggling to conceive, this guide will help you understand what low sperm count means and how it can be managed.


What Is Low Sperm Count?

Low sperm count, or oligospermia, means that the semen you ejaculate during orgasm contains fewer sperm than normal. A normal sperm count is considered to be 15 million sperm per milliliter or more. Anything less could impact fertility.


Symptoms of Low Sperm Count

  • Difficulty in achieving pregnancy despite regular unprotected sex
  • Low sex drive or hormonal imbalances
  • Pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicle area
  • Erectile dysfunction in some cases

Causes of Low Sperm Count

  • Varicocele (enlarged veins in the testicles)
  • Infections that interfere with sperm production
  • Hormonal imbalances such as low testosterone
  • Lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol, obesity, drug use
  • Exposure to toxins or heat
  • Certain medications or past surgeries

How Is It Diagnosed?

The primary test is a semen analysis, which checks:

  • Sperm count
  • Motility (movement)
  • Morphology (shape)

Additional blood tests, ultrasound, or hormone panels may also be recommended to evaluate deeper causes.


Treatment Options at MHRT Hospitals

  • Lifestyle changes (quitting smoking, managing weight, reducing stress)
  • Medication to treat infections or hormonal imbalances
  • Surgical correction (like varicocele repair)
  • Assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI or IVF with ICSI

Improving Your Chances of Conception

  • Eat a healthy, antioxidant-rich diet
  • Exercise moderately and avoid heat exposure to the groin area
  • Wear loose underwear and limit laptop use on the lap
  • Avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods
