In recent years, the quality of human sperm has shown a downward trend due to environmental factors, pollution from estrogen like toxins, and other factors. It is now considered oligozoospermia if the number of sperm per milliliter is less than 20 million. However, in clinical practice, it is often accompanied by changes such as low sperm motility, poor forward motility, and high sperm deformity rate. At this time, it is called oligoasthenozoospermia, which is a common male infertility condition.
Common causes of oligospermia
1. Testicular dysfunction, such as congenital testicular dysplasia and cryptorchidism, testicular tuberculosis, parotitis accompanied by orchitis, etc., affects and destroys testicular tissue and affects spermatogenesis.
2. Varicocele and fluid accumulation in the tunica vaginalis of the testes, resulting in blood stasis and testicular spermatogenesis disorders.
3. Prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, urethral diseases, immune factors, mental tension, and extreme malnutrition can all cause sperm loss.
Symptomatic treatment
1. Those with a clear cause should be treated according to the cause, such as varicocele and cryptorchidism, which can be treated surgically; Provide anti infection treatment for reproductive tract infections; Individuals who produce anti sperm antibodies through their own immunity can try immunosuppressive drugs such as adrenal glucocorticoids and high-dose vitamin C therapy. For oligospermia caused by exogenous factors, these exogenous factors can be removed. With the removal of primary diseases and external factors, the number of sperm will increase, achieving satisfactory results.
2. For idiopathic oligozoospermia with unknown etiology, testosterone or artificially synthesized testosterone derivatives can be used for treatment, such as testosterone propionate, fluoromethyltestosterone, etc; Metergoline, a 5-hydroxytryptamine antagonist, also has a certain therapeutic effect; Additionally, drugs such as glucocorticoids, clomiphene, tamoxifen, HCG, and HMG can be tried.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Choose Liu Wei Di Huang Wan or Ba Wei Di Huang Wan and take them continuously for 2-3 months.
