Low semen volume is a very troublesome disease, and in the eyes of many people, it seems that this disease is not very serious, and some people are not too careful. However, during the process of natural conception after marriage, having too little semen is a troublesome thing. Some patients find it difficult to have children, so what should be done if there is a low semen volume? Will low semen volume affect pregnancy?

1、 Reasons for low semen volume

A normal male ejaculates approximately 2-6 milliliters per ejaculation, and the amount of ejaculation is related to the number of ejaculations. If the volume of semen is less than 1 milliliter each time, it is called oligospermia. Ejaculatory duct obstruction or congenital seminal vesicle insufficiency; Pituitary or testicular interstitial cell lesions, leading to a decrease in gonadotropins or estrogen, leading to a decrease in semen production; Infectious diseases of the genital tract can also cause paragonadal dysfunction and decrease semen production. Another important reason is the severe deficiency of trace elements zinc and selenium. Firstly, when collecting semen, it is necessary to exclude some semen omissions and retrograde ejaculation. After confirming a decrease in semen volume, a series of further examinations are needed to determine the location of the lesion. Generally speaking, oligospermia caused by ejaculatory duct obstruction or congenital seminal vesicle deficiency can be accompanied by sperm deficiency and semen fructose deficiency. The decrease in semen volume due to azoospermia deficiency may be due to pituitary or testicular interstitial lesions, leading to a decrease in gonadotropins or androgens. When reproductive tract infections cause damage to the function of the accessory glands, a large number of white blood cells can appear in semen, and bacterial culture and counting are helpful for diagnosis.

2、 Can having too little semen affect pregnancy?

A small amount of sperm may not necessarily affect pregnancy. Generally speaking, a small amount of sperm may affect pregnancy because a small amount of sperm can reduce the probability of pregnancy, but a small amount of sperm may still bind to the egg, giving it a chance to conceive. The quality of semen cannot be judged solely by ejaculation volume. If a woman cannot conceive naturally after marriage, it is best for both husband and wife to go to the hospital for examination, mainly to check their ovulation function and fallopian tube condition. Men can schedule a routine semen screening as early as possible to determine if there are any issues, and then treatment will be safer.

3、 Solution to low semen volume

Habit is an important factor affecting male semen volume, so we need to pay attention to this habit, mainly including the following points. Firstly, male friends must choose loose and comfortable clothing when choosing private servers, as clothing that is too close to the skin may be a constraint on the male genitalia and cause some pressure. Prolonged exposure to this environment is not conducive to semen secretion. In addition, we should try to avoid using overheated water for bathing and long-term exercise such as cycling. Secondly, pay attention to a healthy diet. Diet is also an important influencing factor. As the saying goes, 'illness comes from the mouth' also has a certain reason. Controlling one's diet is a good way to prevent various diseases. The third is to maintain healthy daily habits. As is well known, bad lifestyle habits are the cause of many diseases, so having good lifestyle habits is an important step in maintaining health. For example, it should be less contaminated with tobacco and alcohol to ensure sufficient sleep time and quality. The best way to achieve rapid improvement is to seek medical attention. The commonly used treatment methods in clinical practice include anti infection, hormone therapy, and relieving obstruction. There are also some traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods that can be used to assist in conditioning. If necessary, a dual approach is beneficial for effective treatment of the disease.

Low semen volume is not a serious reproductive disease, as long as certain adjustments are made according to medical advice, this disease can be completely treated. Unlike the quality of sperm, the problem of low semen is generally only related to the glandular gland or some organic diseases in the prostate, and treatment is labor-intensive. And if properly adjusted, there is also a chance to cure the disease after a period of time!
