• 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.
