Delicate answers to the indelicate question of low sperm count


By Meluse Kapatamoyo

As mentioned earlier on my facebook page, Pokeyourmind, I will be dedicating some time to following up on topics sent in by my readers. The subject below is one that has topped the list of requests sent in, not only by men but surprisingly by women too. I spoke to Dr Robert Mtonga on the topic ‘Low Sperm Count’ and here is what he had to say...

Pokeyourmind: What is low sperm count?

Dr Mtonga: It refers to the ejaculation of less than 15 million sperms per millilitre, (The normal ejaculate should contain at least 250 million sperms).

Pokeyourmind: What are the causes?

Dr Mtonga: There are many causes and these include pre-pubertal state( which refers to boys before they attain puberty), disease conditions e.g Sexually transmitted diseases, infections, abnormal growths in the tubes  that conduct sperms to the outlet, problems with sperm production and storage areas, failure to ejaculate, tumours, hormonal problems, certain medications, alcohol and tobacco use, industrial chemicals, stress and emotional problems, poor diet, stress, overweight among others.

Pokeyourmind: What are some of the known signs that someone has a low sperm count?

Dr Mtonga: Infertility is the obvious and commonest tale-tell sign. Definitively however, a man needs to have a special test known as Semen Analysis. Semen is the fluid that contains sperms.

Pokeyourmind: Depending on results from the semen analysis, when can it be considered dangerous enough to warrant medical attention?

Dr Mtonga: A sperm count of less than 15 million sperms is cause for worry if coupled with infertility. A result showing abnormally shaped sperms, less motile sperms, high fluid acidity etc. do not herald good news. Other relative indications that send men, sometimes with their partners in tow, include erectile dysfunction, pain on ejaculation, blood in the semen and trauma or surgery to the spermatic cord.

Pokeyourmind: How does it interfere with one’s ability to make a woman pregnant?

Dr Mtonga: A low sperm count does not necessarily lead to impotence but is one of the most common causes of it. Paradoxically a man need only one sperm to make a woman pregnant, but chances are greatly reduced with a low sperm count.

Pokeyourmind: Can a man enjoy sex when they have a low sperm count?

Dr Mtonga: Definitely.  A low sperm count does not interfere directly with enjoyment of sexual intercourse. A man who is losing sleep over a low sperm count obviously will not enjoy sexual intercourse due to psychological reasons.

Pokeyourmind: What is the prevalence rate?

Dr Mtonga: No research has been done in Zambia on the subject. Globally it varies from place to place depending on underlying factors.

Pokeyourmind: What can be done to reverse this condition?

Dr Mtonga: This depends on the underlying cause(s). The remedy ranges from behaviour changes such as reducing alcohol intake, losing weight, treating an organic condition, using medication to boost the production, corrective surgery etc.

Pokeyourmind: What myths are associated with low sperm count?

Dr Mtonga: These are many and include:- marital unfaithfulness, witchcraft and ancestral curses, weakness of the manhood, the wife is using charms, wearing tight pants, jealousy from rivals etc. PYM.

The question is how do I know my count is low? Do we have to take samples to clinics to double-check where we stand?

Is there any linkage between erectile dysfunction and low sperm count?
Great discussion!

Mazwi,the article clearly states that you need a Semen Analysis, which should be done in a laboratory.

Do you know that there is a great Herbal doctor who can cure any disease? Like Cancer, HIV, HPV, syphilis, diabetes, herpes, anthrax, madness, low spam count, pregnancy And also bring back your Lover E.t.c. Well my main reason why i am writing this right now is to inform the whole world about the great deeds, DR. john did for me. My name is Ruiz maryl, I was diagnosed of HIV in the year 2012 ever since then I was taking my medications, until I met the great spell caster, though I never believed in spell. I saw many testimonies on how he cured deadly diseases. I contacted him through his phone number. I called him, he asked me to send him my email, which I did. He told me that his god’s required some items in which he will use in casting a curing spell on me. I don’t know where to find the items he required. He told me that the only alternative is for me to send him the money, and then he can help me to get the items and herbs for my treatment. I promised myself to do anything to get cured. I sent him the money. He bought the items and casted a curing spell on me and also sent me a herbal potion, I used it as He instructed. 7 days later he asked me to go for check up, when I did the check up I was tested HIV Negative. I am so happy, I can not stop thanking Him, if you passing through hardship and you need a way out, kindly contact his mobile number+2348107345943

Hi

This is going to sound a bit crazy...

But I've just been checking out the teachings of this guy called Jack Grave...

And he's found a way for ANY man to go from lasting even as short as a couple of seconds in bed to over 35 minutes.

I've been looking into it and it's 100% legit.

Everything he teaches is based around the fact that if you can change what you do during sex then you can change how long you last in bed.

And he's a got a few different (really easy to use) techniques of exactly what to do to last longer.

It's not something that's normally talked about, but more men than you can imagine have to deal with not lasting long enough to please their partners...

And Jack Grave has come up with some very simple strategies for changing that.

He's posted a video on his website that explains the techniques he used to go from lasting less than 10 seconds in bed to over 35 minutes...

And at the moment it's available to watch for free.

I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be up there so I recommend you go check it out now.

You can find it at... How To Last Longer In Bed (Step-By-Step Method)

I've checked Jack Grave out and like I said he's the real deal and his stuff works. This free video is well worth a quick watch.

All the best,

{Carlet Langford}
