Low Sperm Count & Male Fertility Support

Male Fertility Matters—We’re Here to Help

Fertility is a shared journey—and in nearly half of all infertility cases, male factors play a role. Low sperm count (also called oligospermia) is one of the most common male fertility issues, but with the right evaluation and treatment, many men go on to achieve biological fatherhood.

At Best Life Fertility Centre, we offer discreet, thorough assessments and cutting-edge treatments designed to address male fertility with clarity, compassion, and results.

What Is Low Sperm Count?

Low sperm count means that the semen you ejaculate contains fewer sperm than normal. A healthy sperm count is typically defined as 15 million sperm per milliliter or more.

Depending on the severity, sperm count may be:

But numbers aren’t everything. Sperm motility (movement) and morphology (shape) also affect fertility—and we evaluate these as part of a full semen analysis.

Causes of Low Sperm Count

Many different factors can contribute to low sperm count, including:

Hormonal imbalances
Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
Infections or STIs
Undescended testicles or genetic conditions
Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, heat exposure, and stress
Previous surgeries or injuries

In some cases, no obvious cause is found—but treatment is still possible.

How We Diagnose Male Fertility Issues

Our male fertility evaluation is private, respectful, and comprehensive. It typically includes:

Semen analysis (volume, count, motility, morphology)
Hormonal testing (FSH, LH, Testosterone, Prolactin)
Scrotal ultrasound to detect varicocele or blockages
Genetic testing or advanced sperm function tests if needed Once we understand the root cause, we guide you toward the most effective next steps.

Treatment Options for Low Sperm Count

Our approach is based on your unique needs and the underlying cause. Treatment options may include:

Lifestyle changes (diet, supplements, stress reduction, stopping smoking)
Hormonal therapy to boost sperm production
Varicocele repair surgery
Medication for infections or inflammation
Sperm retrieval procedures (TESA, PESA, or Micro-TESE)
Assisted reproductive techniques like:

Even in cases of extremely low sperm count—or no sperm in the ejaculate—microsurgical sperm retrieval and IVF can make fatherhood possible.
