What You Need to Know About Low Sperm Count

Male infertility is a problem that affects millions of people. Most often, male infertility is caused by problems with sperm, such as poor sperm quality and low sperm count. If you’ve been diagnosed with low sperm count, it means that there are fewer than 15 million sperm for every milliliter of sperm. If you have a low sperm count, it can lower the chances for fertilization of an egg.

There are many possible causes of low sperm count. For example, some men have blockages of the tubules that are responsible for carrying sperm. The sperm may be blocked in the vas deferens, at the epididymis, or at other areas. Men who decide to have vasectomy reversals may resolve this problem with a vasoepididymostomy, which can be performed at the same time as the vasectomy reversal. This technique connects the vas deferens to the epididymis.
