How to Increase Sperm Count

100% Online — No Office Visit Required

Low sperm count (oligospermia) has multiple causes — and multiple medical treatment options. OakMD's providers can evaluate your situation and recommend appropriate approaches.

Overview

Sperm count can be reduced by hormonal imbalances, TRT use, varicocele, infection, genetic factors, or lifestyle factors. Medical options can address some of these causes.

Common Causes

Common causes of low sperm count in men:

  • Secondary hypogonadism (low LH/FSH)
  • TRT use (suppressed HPG axis)
  • Varicocele (vascular)
  • Genetic conditions (Klinefelter, Y chromosome microdeletion)
  • Obesity and metabolic syndrome
