HERBAL REMEDY FOR OLIGOSPERMIAN /LOW SPERM COUNT(AFATO) BY BABALAWO OBANIFA-Obanifa extreme documentaries vol 4.
This work will document some of the herbal formula available in Yoruba herbal medicine for the treatment of Oligospermia. The term use for description of any herbal formula for this condition in Yoruba herbal medicine parlance is known as Afato. This work will explore some medical information on oligospermia has make available by trained medical authors , Before I reveal some of the herbal remedies available for this purpose In sphere of Yoruba herbal medicine. It is however instructive for the readers to note that information make available in this work should not be regarded as substitute to the service of qualified trained health practitioners where the service of one is required. The work of Kimberly Holland Medically reviewed by Daniel Murrell, MD titled Oligospermia and Fertility: What You Should Know give concise information on Oligospermia . According Kimberly Holland Oligospermia is a male fertility issue characterized by a low sperm count. Other aspects of the sexual health of men with this condition are typical. This includes the ability to get and maintain an erection, as well as produce ejaculation at orgasm.
Sperm
count in your ejaculate can vary throughout your life. A healthy sperm amount
is often necessary for fertility. The World Health Organization (WHO)
classifies sperm counts at or above 15 million sperm per milliliter (mL) of semen
as average. Anything below that is considered low and is diagnosed as
oligospermia.
- Mild oligospermia is 10 to 15 million sperm/mL.
- Moderate oligospermia is considered 5 to 10 million sperm/mL.
- Severe oligospermia is diagnosed when sperm counts fall between 0 and 5 million sperm/mL.
It’s
unclear how many men have low sperm amounts in their semen. This is, in part,
because not everyone with the condition is diagnosed. Only men who have
difficulty with conceiving naturally and ultimately seek help may be diagnosed.
Several
conditions and lifestyle factors can increase a man’s risk for oligospermia.
Varicocele
Enlarged
veins in a man’s scrotum can disrupt blood flow to the testicles. This can
cause the temperature in the testicles to increase. Any increase in temperature
can negatively impact sperm production. About 40 percent of men with low sperm numbers or low sperm
quality count have this common issue. Read more about varicocele.
Infection
Viruses
like sexually transmitted infections can reduce the sperm amount in semen.
Ejaculation issues
While
many men with oligospermia have typical ejaculations, some ejaculation problems
may reduce sperm count. Retrograde
ejaculation is one such issue. This occurs when semen enters the bladder
instead of leaving from the tip of the penis.
Other
things that may interfere with typical ejaculation include:
- injuries
- tumors
- cancer
- past surgeries
Medications
Beta
blockers, antibiotics, and blood pressure medications may cause ejaculation
problems and reduce sperm count.
Hormone issues
The
brain and the testicles produce several hormones that are responsible for
ejaculation and sperm production. An imbalance in any of these hormones may
lower sperm count numbers.
Exposure to chemicals and metals
Pesticides,
cleaning agents, and painting materials are a few of the chemicals that can
reduce sperm count. Exposure to heavy metals, such as lead, can cause this
problem, too.
Overheating testicles
Sitting
frequently, placing laptops over your genitals, and wearing tight clothing may
all contribute to overheating. An increase in temperature around the testicles
may temporarily reduce sperm production. It’s unclear what long-term
complications may occur.
Drug and alcohol use
The
use of some substances, including marijuana and cocaine, may reduce sperm
counts. Excessive drinking can do the same. Men who smoke cigarettes may have
lower sperm counts than men who do not smoke.
Weight problems
Being
overweight or obese increases your risk for low sperm counts in several ways.
Excess weight can directly reduce how much sperm your body can make. Weight
problems may also interfere with hormone production.
How does oligospermia affect fertility?
Some men with
oligospermia can still conceive despite lower sperm counts. Fertilization may
be more difficult, however. It may take more attempts than couples without a
fertility issue.
Other men with
oligospermia may have no problem with conception, despite the low sperm
numbers.
Some of the most
common causes of oligospermia also increase a man’s risk for other fertility
issues. This includes sperm
motility problems.
Sperm motility
refers to how “active” sperm are in a man’s semen. Normal activity allows sperm
to swim toward an egg for fertilization easily. Abnormal motility may mean the
sperm don’t move enough to reach an egg. The sperm may also move in an
unpredictable pattern that would prevent them from reaching an egg.
Home remedies
Men with
oligospermia may be able to increase the chances for conception with these
techniques:
Have sex more frequently
If you’re trying
to have a baby, increasing your frequency of intercourse can improve your
chances of conception, especially around the time your partner is ovulating.
Track ovulation
Timing sex to
ovulation can increase your chances for conception. Work with your partner’s
doctor to find the best times for intercourse for conception.
Don’t use lubricants
Some lubricants
and oils can reduce sperm motility and prevent sperm from reaching an egg. If
lubricant is needed, talk with your doctor about a sperm-safe option.
Treatment
Treatment can
improve sperm numbers and quality. These treatment options include:
Surgery
Varicocele often
require surgery. During the procedure, your doctor will close off the enlarged
veins. They’ll redirect blood flow to another vein.
Medication
Medications,
including antibiotics, treat infections and inflammation. Treatment may not
improve sperm numbers, but it may prevent greater sperm count drops.
Lifestyle changes
Losing weight and
maintaining a healthy weight may improve sperm numbers. It may also reduce your
risk for many other health conditions. Stop using drugs, alcohol, and tobacco
to improve sperm amounts, too.
Hormone treatment
A variety of
medications, injections, and lifestyle changes can restore hormones to a
healthy level. When hormone levels recover, sperm numbers may improve.
Reproduction assistance
If you’re still
unable to get pregnant, you and your partner can work with a fertility
specialist to explore your options.
Outlook
Low sperm counts
decrease the chances you can conceive naturally with your partner. However,
they don’t rule it out entirely. Many men with oligospermia are able to
fertilize their partner’s egg, despite lower sperm numbers.
Ask your doctor
about techniques or strategies that might help improve your chances of
conception.
