Escucha este artículo

We often see and hear that even after many years of marriage a person has not produced a child and it is surprising when all the blame is put on the woman’s head. Whereas in most of the cases, its fault is due to lack of sperm count or poor quality of sperms in the male. According to a study, 90% of male fertility problems are due to low sperm count. After all, what are these and what is the meaning of their lack? So lets know about the sperm and some home remedies to increase sperm count.

What Are Sperm?

the word Sperm is derived from the Greek word sperma which means ‘seed’ and seed refers to the reproductive cells of the male. According to experts, a distinction has been made between several types of sexual reproduction, such as anisogamy and oogamy. In which the gametes of small size are called ‘male’ or sperm cells. According to experts, sperm is produced in the testes and it takes 72 days to mature.

What is the Meaning of Sperm Count?

At the time of sexual activity, the release of less sperm than normal in the semen coming out of the “organ” of the male is called sperm deficiency. A healthy male body produces 1,500 sperm per second. If a man has less than 1.5 crore sperm per millilitre of semen, then this number is considered less than normal.

Tests are also available to know the sperm count. Low sperm count is called oligospermia and complete absence of sperm is called azoospermia. Would like to clarify here that even if the sperm count is not low but the sperm is weak, that is, the sperm is not healthy, even then the male is not able to reproduce.

Symptoms of Low Sperm Count.

Although there are no obvious symptoms of sperm deficiency, but some of the following problems can be symptoms;

  • The main problem due to low sperm count or unhealthy sperm is a man cannot conceive a woman.
  • Erectile dysfunction can also be a symptom of low sperm count, but it is not necessarily the case.
  • Pain, swelling or a lump in the testes area.
  • Enlarged veins of the testes or any other condition that obstructs the passage of sperms.
  • Problems with chromosomes or hormones.
  • Less than normal hair on the face or body.

Cause to Low Sperm Count.

There are many points of view for the reasons of low sperm count such as medical, environmental and related to health and lifestyle. Before knowing the reasons related to low sperm count, we must understand that the formation of sperm is a very complex process. It is very important for the smooth functioning of all the parts related to the construction. So now we know the reasons for the lack of sperm;

Along with testes, glands called hypothalamus and pituitary, which are organs present in the brain, produce hormones that increase sperm production. Sperm, after being produced in the testes, remain in the thin tube until they are expelled from the “male organ” along with semen. If even one of these organs does not work properly, then there will be obstruction in sperm production.

  • Varicocele i.e. swelling in the veins of the testes is also a common reason for not producing sperms.
  • Sexual infection or urinary tract infection.
  • Cells produced by the immune system called “anti-sperm antibodies” try to eliminate sperms by considering them harmful to the body.
  • Ejaculation problem can also cause difference in sperm count. Means if someone feels any problem in semen ejaculation.
  • Lack of balance in hormones.
  • Reaction to specific drugs – Testosterone replacement therapy, cancer treatment (chemotherapy) or other types of drugs can result in low or no sperm production.
  • Effects of metals, gases – exposure to harmful heavy metals such as lead or gases.
  • Effect of radiation X-ray etc.
  • Heating up of the testicles – Too much, riding a horse or riding a bicycle for a long time or with a bad seat, the testicles become very hot, which has a bad effect on the sperms.
  • Use of excessive drugs.
  • Alcohol addiction.
  • De fumar.
  • Obesity.
  • Being estresado.
  • Lack of nutrients in food.
