A person is said to have a low sperm count when he has fewer than 15 million sperms per milliliter of semen. Low sperm count as a result of medical conditions, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Using a semen volumizer can help you to increase your count. Some people struggle with fertility due to low sperm count but most men can have children with low sperm count.
Pain or Swelling in the Testicles
There are many explanations for swelling and pain in the testicular region. The pain may occur in one particular spot or a more generalized region. If the pain is intense it is important to seek medical attention immediately some of the symptoms are considered as a medical emergency.
One of the causes of the pain and swelling is testicular torsion a condition that occurs when the testicle has twisted inside the scrotum. There is no blood flow to the testicles which causes failure of the tissues and hence low sperm count. Hernia can be another cause of the swelling and requires surgery to fix the damaged area. Men develop epididymitis from a bacterial infection which mostly occurs in men between ages 20 and 39.
Erectile Dysfunction
Most erectile dysfunction is linked to hormonal imbalances which also causes low sperm count. Venous leak is erectile dysfunction that causes the veins not to compress fully during an erection. It is usually caused by a disease or injury.
An erection cannot occur if the nerves don’t signal the blood vessels to push blood into the penis. This is known as a neurovascular function which is a result of medical conditions such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis. Other erectile dysfunctions are due to feelings of guilt associated with sex, depression, anxiety, and stress.
Altered Sexual Desire
When a man’s sexual desires are altered it might be an indication of low sperm count which also leads to infertility. This is also linked to hormonal health responsible for sperm production. The most common causes of hormonal problems are pituitary tumors which do not spread to other parts of the body.
If you perform an analysis of hormone levels you might get the existence of hypogonadism. Anabolic steroid abuse can affect the male hormones’ health this leading to a low sperm count. If you are consuming anabolic steroids it is time to quit to prevent long-term effects. Normal sperm count can be restored by gonadotropin injections and abstinence from androgens.
Small and Firm Testicles
The condition of the testicles determines the health and the quality of the sperms. In most cases, the size of the testicles is barely the issue but what is occurring inside them could be the reason for making them constricted and firm.
Visiting a doctor is the only way to get assessed for the health of the testicles and whether or not they can function successfully during sexual reproduction. The most common test done is the semen analysis however further laboratory tests can be done such as sperm agglutination, sperm penetration testing, testicular biopsy, vasography, ultrasonography, and acrosome reaction.
