Description:

Mild To Severe Oligospermia Oligozoospermia is a condition where the sperm count in male is of low count which is a major cause for male infertility. Oligozoospermia refers to semen with a low concentration of sperm and is a common finding in male infertility.Often semen with a decreased sperm concentration may also show significant abnormalities in sperm morphology and motility (technically “oligoasthenoteratozoospermia”). – PowerPoint PPT presentation

  • Mild To Severe Oligospermia
  • Oligozoospermia
  • Oligozoospermia refers to semen with a low
    concentration of sperm and is a common finding in
    male infertility. Often semen with a decreased
    sperm concentration may also show significant
    abnormalities in sperm morphology and motility
    (technically oligoasthenoteratozoospermia).
  • What is a low sperm count?
  • A normal count is 80million/hpf 100
    million/hpf (taken after 2-3days of
    abstinence).
  • Sources usually classify oligospermia in 3
    classes
  • 1. Mildconcentrations 10 million 20 million
    sperm/ml
  • 2. Moderateconcentrations 5 million 10 million
    sperm/ml
  • 3. evereconcentrations less than 5 million
    sperm/ml
  • Azoospermia (no sperms in the sample)

  • Causes of a low sperm count in males
  • Alcohol, smoking , excess weight
  • Genetic defects on the Y chromosome (male
    chromosome)
  • Chromosomal abnormality (Klinefelter syndrome)
  • Neoplasm, e.g. seminoma, Varicocele (dilatation
    of the veins)
  • Trauma, past operations on the pelvis,
  • Drugs(long term steroids, certain antibiotics,
    Radiation/Chemotherapy)
  • Mumps or Malaria ,
  • Infection, e.g. prostatitis (Please do not stop
    any of your current medication without consulting
    a doctor)

  • Diagnosis
  • A semen analysis is first needed. If the count is
    low blood tests (Serum testosterone and Serum
    FSH) are requested to look for hormone
    imbalances. If the semen sample suggests
    infection then a culture is request and
    antibiotics prescribed accordingly.
  • An ultrasound may be requested and if diagnosed
    with a varicocele or hydrocele, a urology opinion
    may be sought.
  • In some of the cases of male infertility, no
    clear cause can be identified with current
    diagnostic methods.
  • Treatment
  • Medications include Co Q10 Vitamin E can be used
    to boost sperm production in men with low sperm
    counts and poor sperm motility.
  • Surgery is often the choice in post testicular
    causes such as a varicocele or a hydrocele
    although results are not always good.
