Well, we are gonna define, first of all, if it is a low sperm count. So, often you need to do a repeat analysis to confirm the first finding. If the sperm count is low, there's many causes for the low sperm count. So, some of these may be previous surgeries as a child, like undescended testes, varicoceles, or varicose veins of the testicle, hormonal problems as well. These are just small numbers of causes of it, and you need further assessment, really, by a urologist or andrologist.
