Hypospermia
Hypospermia
Hypospermia (/haɪpəˈspɜːrmiə/; from the Greek words 'hypo-', meaning 'under', and 'sperma', meaning 'seed') is a medical condition characterized by a reduced semen volume during ejaculation.
Definition
Hypospermia is defined as a semen volume of less than 2 milliliters, as per the World Health Organization (WHO) standards. It is different from Azoospermia, where there is no measurable level of sperm in the semen, and Oligospermia, where there is a low sperm count in the semen.
Causes
The causes of Hypospermia can be divided into pre-testicular, testicular, and post-testicular. Pre-testicular causes include hormonal imbalances and general health conditions. Testicular causes are related to conditions affecting the testes directly, such as Varicocele or Testicular torsion. Post-testicular causes are related to problems with the male reproductive system, such as Ejaculatory duct obstruction or Prostate disease.
Symptoms
The main symptom of Hypospermia is a noticeably reduced volume of semen during ejaculation. This condition can also be associated with other symptoms, such as Erectile dysfunction, Painful ejaculation, or Infertility.
Treatment
Treatment for Hypospermia depends on the underlying cause. It may include hormonal therapy, surgery for conditions like Varicocele, or assisted reproductive techniques in cases of infertility.
