What is Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia)?

Oligospermia refers to having a lower-than-normal sperm concentration in the semen.
According to WHO standards, a healthy sperm count is at least 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Anything below this threshold is classified as a low sperm count, which can make conception naturally more difficult.

At VIVILITY, we provide comprehensive semen analysis and expert evaluations to diagnose oligospermia accurately.

Symptoms and Signs of Low Sperm Count

Men with low sperm count often do not experience obvious symptoms. However, you should seek testing if you notice:

• Difficulty conceiving after 6–12 months of trying
• Reduced libido (sex drive)
• Erectile dysfunction or weak erections
• Testicular pain, swelling, or discomfort
• Noticeably smaller or softer testes
• Other signs of hormonal imbalance (fatigue, decreased muscle mass)

Early diagnosis can help avoid delays in achieving a successful pregnancy.

Causes of Low Sperm Count

Oligospermia can be caused by various medical conditions, lifestyle habits, and environmental exposures:

Medical causes:

• Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
• Hormonal disorders (low testosterone, thyroid issues)
• Infections (orchitis, epididymitis)
• Genetic abnormalities (Klinefelter syndrome, Y chromosome deletions)

Lifestyle and environmental factors:

• Obesity
• Smoking and alcohol consumption
• Exposure to industrial chemicals or heat
• Chronic stress
• Poor nutrition

At VIVILITY, we work to identify and address the underlying causes to maximize your chances of improvement.

• Hormone therapy is used if a hormonal imbalance is detected

Surgical Solutions:

• Varicocele repair surgery
• Surgical sperm retrieval (TESA, Micro-TESE) if needed for IVF/ICSI

Lifestyle Changes to Improve Sperm Count

Simple changes can significantly impact sperm health:

• Maintain a healthy weight
• Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake

• Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats
• Reduce stress through mindfulness, therapy, or relaxation techniques
• Stay hydrated and avoid tight clothing that raises testicular temperature

Assisted Reproductive Techniques for Severe Oligospermia

In more serious cases, ART methods offer excellent chances for conception:

• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A single healthy sperm is injected into an egg
• IVF with low sperm count: Multiple eggs are fertilized with selected sperm
• Surgical sperm retrieval (TESA, Micro-TESE) if no sperm is found in the semen
• Sperm freezing and banking for future IVF cycles

Even with very low sperm counts, success is achievable with modern techniques.

Success Rates After Treatment for Low Sperm Count

Your chances of achieving pregnancy after treating oligospermia depend on:

• Severity of the sperm count issue
  
  
• Age and fertility health of your partner
  
  
• Type of treatment pursued (natural conception, IUI, IVF, ICSI)
  

At VIVILITY:

• Most men see improvement in sperm counts within 3–6 months with treatment.
  
• ICSI success rates with severe oligospermia are comparable to normal sperm scenarios.
  
• Many couples achieve pregnancy within 6–12 months after starting treatment.
