Is natural pregnancy possible with oligospermia?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My partner and I have been trying to start a family, but I have a condition called Oligospermia. I am not exactly sure what this means or how it will affect our chances of having a baby. Can you break it down for me? What are the odds of us still being able to conceive naturally with this condition? And if it will be tough, what other options do we have? I have heard about treatments like IVF, but I am not sure if that is right for us. Also, what kind of symptoms should I be looking out for with oligospermia? And how much of a burden will this take on us emotionally and financially? I am 34 years old, We are hoping to start a family soon, so any advice or information you can give would be a huge help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Oligospermia means decreased sperm count, which can result from many reasons. Yes, it decreases the chances of conception.
You should start taking some medicines to increase your sperm count. Also, avoid wearing tight underwear and taking hot baths.
You do not need to go directly for IVF (In vitro fertilization ). There is another option called IUI (Intrauterine insemination), a treatment where husbands' good sperm are selected and inserted inside the uterus. You can go for that if there is a failure of natural conception.
I hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards.
