Ayurvedic treatment for low sperm count

Low Sperm Count – Oligospermia Ayurvedic Treatment

Terms oligospermia and oligozoospermia or Low Sperm Count refer to semen with a low concentration of sperm

WHO Classifies: Oligospermia or less Sperm Count as:-

• Mild: concentrations 10 million – 15 million sperm/mL
• Moderate: concentrations 5 million – 10 million sperm/mL
• Severe: concentrations less than 5 million sperm/mL

It is a common false belief that sperm health is only dependent on its number. However, the anatomy of the sperm is also an important determinant of its health and its ability to fertilize a female egg. Sperm has to make a long and tedious journey to a woman’s cervix, and through there it has to reach into the Fallopian tubes, So infertility depends on sperm motility too.

The motility of sperm are divided into four different grades:

• Grade a: Sperm with progressive motility. These are the strongest and swim fast in a straight line. Sometimes it is also denoted motility IV.
• Grade b: (non-linear motility): These also move forward but tend to travel in a curved or crooked motion. Sometimes also denoted motility III.
• Grade c: These have non-progressive motility because they do not move forward despite the fact that they move their tails. Sometimes also denoted motility II.
• Grade d: These are immotile and fail to move at all. Sometimes also denoted motility I.

• at least 75 per cent of the spermatozoa should be alive (it is normal for up to 25 per cent to be dead).
• at least 30 per cent of the spermatozoa should be of normal shape and form.
• at least 25 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming with rapid forward movement.
• at least 50 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming forward, even if only sluggishly.
