Spermaszám

Spermaszám, also known as sperm count, refers to the number of sperm cells present in a given volume of semen. It is a crucial factor in male fertility, as a higher sperm count generally indicates better fertility. The normal range for sperm count is typically considered to be 15 million sperm cells per milliliter of semen, although this can vary depending on the laboratory and the specific criteria used for measurement.

Sperm count can be influenced by various factors, including age, lifestyle, and overall health. For instance, sperm count tends to decrease with age, a phenomenon known as oligospermia. Other factors that can affect sperm count include exposure to certain chemicals, toxins, or environmental pollutants, as well as certain medical conditions such as varicocele, a condition where the veins in the scrotum become enlarged and twisted.

Sperm count is typically measured during a semen analysis, a procedure that involves collecting a semen sample and examining it under a microscope. The results of a semen analysis can provide valuable information about a man's fertility and may be used to diagnose and treat fertility issues. If a man has a low sperm count, there are various treatment options available, including lifestyle changes, medications, and assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
