There may be a reduced number of sperms in a male’s semen. This is called oligospermia. Normal male sample concentration of sperm is 15 million sperms/mL. That’s not to say getting pregnant isn’t possible, you certainly can have a kid.
The majority of men don’t develop any symptoms, and most people only become aware of it during a fertility check. Indications could be:
* Hormonal changes and imbalances: Disruptions or instability in the body’s sex hormones — like testosterone — can harm sperm production.
* Varicocele: Swelling of the veins in the scrotum can cause low sperm production
Some viral infections like STIs or an infection of the testicle or prostate can affect the production of sperm.
* Certain genetic diseases may have an impact on fertility.
* Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may also interfere with sperm production.
* Obesity: Excess body fat can interfere with normal hormone production, reducing the amount of sperm produced by a man..
* Tobacco and alcohol use can reduce both the quality and quantity of sperm.
* Drug abuse can also include the recreational use of illegal drugs, the misuse of prescription drugs, or the abuse of drugs not meant for people.
* Stress An overproduction of hormones responsible for stress can disturb the necessary hormones for making sperm.
* Overheating – Regular use of saunas or hot tubs can elevate the temperature of the testicles, reducing sperm count.
* Some heavy metals or chemicals were considered toxic, in that exposure could severely compromise fertility.
