• #2 5 Low Sperm Count Treatment Options for Men

  https://www.artfertilityclinics.com/in/en/art-blog/5-low-sperm-count-treatment-options-for-men

  You may not typically think about sperm quality unless you’re trying to conceive and start a family. However, if youre dealing with male infertility, a low sperm count could be one of the contributing factors. Rest assured that effective treatments are available. Lets explore some of the most scientifically-backed options to enhance sperm health and support your journey towards conception. […] Low sperm count, or oligospermia, is one of the prime causes of male infertility. The World Health Organization claims that it is called low when the sperm count declines to less than 15 million per millilitre (mL) of semen, although the average sperm count is around 75 million/mL. […] Certain health disorders inhibit the normal flow of sperm, which then leads to fertility issues. Varicocele is one such condition, an enlargement of veins draining out from the scrotum. It is a common cause of male infertility and can often be corrected through surgery, improving sperm quality by improving blood flow.

  Low sperm count known as oligospermia occurs when a mans semen (fluid ejaculated from the penis) contains fewer sperm than is typical. A man is considered to have low sperm count if he has fewer than 15 million sperm per millimeter of semen. Having a low sperm count does not necessarily mean that a man will not be able to impregnate a woman, but it may make it more difficult. […] The main symptom of poor sperm health is infertility. Most men dont realize they have poor sperm health until they are trying to impregnate a woman. […] Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a procedure used in cases of male infertility or unexplained infertility. A single sperm cell is isolated and injected into a mature egg on the day of retrieval using microsurgical instruments. […] IVF refers to the creation of embryos in a laboratory setting by placing sperm and eggs in a culture dish, and then transferring them to the uterus.

  Intrauterine insemination, or IUI, is a great treatment option for men with a low sperm count. During this procedure, a washed and concentrated semen sample is injected directly into the uterus. This improves the chance of conception by greatly reducing the distance that sperm needs to travel to reach the egg. […] Another fertility treatment for low sperm count that can be successful is in vitro fertilization, or IVF. During IVF, eggs are collected so they can be fertilized in a laboratory. Sperm is introduced directly to the egg, so sperm count is not so important, as the sperm doesnt have to travel to reach the egg. […] Most of our patients who struggle with low sperm count are able to find success through one of the above-mentioned treatments. However, if fertility treatments have proven ineffective, or if the count and quality of the sperm are particularly low, we may recommend a sperm donor. Donor sperm can be used for either IUI treatment or IVF. By using a donor with high-quality sperm and a high sperm count, we can increase the likelihood that fertility treatments will be a success for our patients.
