Low sperm count Causes
The main cause of male infertility is low sperm count. Many biological and environmental factors can cause low sperm count in men. The causes of male infertility have been explained in texts of ayurveda. Few of these factors are discussed below.
Age: Studies have shown that the rate of
fertility decreases as age of men increases.
Low testosterone level and
degeneration of tissues may cause lowered fertility in aged persons. Ayurveda
acharyas recommend “Vajikarana therapy” to elderly men. This therapy keeps men
as strong as “Vaji” ( Horse) by increasing their sexual energy and stamina.
Stress: Emotional
Stress produces stress hormones which
interfere in production of sperms. This results in low sperm count. Stress
reducing techniques like Yoga, Meditation, deep breathing etc help to reduce
stress. Hence ayurveda acharyas have included herbs like
Ashwagandha
in
Vajikarana category.
Lubricants: Lubricants used in condoms or Vaseline can affect
sperm count.
Testicular Exposure to Overheating.: Over heating of testicles
due to fever, saunas, hot water bath tubs etc reduce sperm count. Persons who
work with their lap tops keeping them on their thighs may encounter low level of
sperms. Men who are exposed to very high temperatures at working place may also
face this condition. Ayurveda acharyas recommend washing of testicles with cold
water twice daily.
Cocaine or marijuana: Cocaine or marijuana reduces sperm count
by 50%. They reduce the swimming ability of sperms. According to principles of
ayurveda these substances are “tamoguna pradhana” . Tamoguna induces lethargy
and sleep. Hence sperms lose their ability to swim when these substances are
consumed.
Smoking. Studies have shown that
smoking reduces sperm count
and sperm motility. It also reduces life span of sperm. Apart from this it
causes
erectile dysfunction and
premature ejaculation which are also causes of
primary infertility.
Nutrient deficiencies: Nutrients like as vitamin C, selenium,
zinc, and folate help in production of healthy sperms and they also help to
increase their count. Deficiency of these nutrients may lead to low sperm count.
Obesity: Few studies have shown a relationship between
obesity
and low sperm count. According to ayurveda acharyas heating of testicles due to
overlapping belly may lead to low sperm count.
Trauma to testicles: Any trauma to testicles may interfere
with production of sperms. Usually Bicycling, raiding motor bike, etc lead to
lowering of sperm count.
Varicocele : Varicoceles are found in 15% to 20% of all men and in 25% to 40% of infertile men. It is not clear how they affect fertility, or even if they do at all.
Apart from these, genetic factors, toxins, chemicals, heavy metals and infections may also hinder production of sperms which results in low sperm count. Exposure to X-ray and other radiations may also act as causative factors for lowering sperm count.
