Low Sperm Count: Clinical Evaluation
Online intake — Additional evaluation may be required
A low sperm count requires interpretation of semen testing alongside reproductive and medical history. This page describes the evaluation rather than an at-home treatment plan.
Overview
Semen analysis reports sperm concentration, motility, and morphology. Collection conditions and other clinical factors affect interpretation; the clinician may request repeat testing.
Common Causes
The assessment may consider:
- Varicocele
- Hormonal conditions
- Genetic conditions
- Infection or prior surgery
- Testosterone or anabolic steroid exposure
- Other medications, heat exposure, and substance use
Common Questions
What records should I bring?
Bring prior semen analyses, hormone results, medication and supplement lists, and any records of reproductive surgery or fertility evaluation.
Should I start supplements before testing?
Review supplements with a clinician. They can have adverse effects and interactions, and should not replace evaluation of an abnormal semen analysis.
