Oligospermia has shown a decreasing trend in recent years due to the impact of environmental factors, pollution of estrogen like toxins, and other factors on the quality of human sperm. 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
Oligospermia is a condition in which the number of sperm in semen is lower than that of healthy and fertile men. It is generally believed that oligospermia occurs when the sperm density is less than one per milliliter.

Why do men experience oligospermia? What is the reason?
1. Varicocele and fluid accumulation in the tunica vaginalis of the testes, resulting in blood stasis and testicular spermatogenesis disorders.
2. Testicular dysfunction, such as congenital testicular dysplasia and cryptorchidism, testicular tuberculosis, parotitis accompanied by orchitis, etc., affects and destroys testicular tissue and affects spermatogenesis.
3. Prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, urethral diseases, immune factors, mental tension, and extreme malnutrition can all cause sperm loss.
