Male Health

Low Sperm Count

• Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) ejaculated during an orgasm contains a lower amount of sperm than normal.
• A low sperm count is also known as oligospermia .
• Having a low sperm count reduces the odds that one of your sperm will fertilise your partner's egg, leading to pregnancy.
• However, many men with low sperm count are still able to father a child, with appropriate medical help

Low Sperm Motility

• Sperm motility is the ability of sperm to move in an efficient manner.
• This is important in fertility because sperm needs to move through the woman’s reproductive tract to reach and fertilise her egg.
• Poor sperm motility often contributes to male infertility.

Erectile Dysfunction (Impotence)

• Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is when a male is unable to keep an erection firm enough for sex.
• Trouble getting and maintaining an erection
• Reduced sexual desire resulting from the above

Premature Ejaculation

• Premature ejaculation occurs in men when semen leaves the body (ejaculate) way sooner than usual during sex.
• Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint.
• As many as 1 out of 3 people say they have faced it at some time.
• Always or nearly always ejaculate within 1 to 3 minutes of penetration
• Are not able to delay ejaculation during sex all or nearly all the time
• It causes mental distress and frustration, and people suffering from it tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result

Azoospermia

• Azoospermia is the medical term used when there is no sperm in the ejaculate.
• It can be due to an “obstruction,” where a blockage may prevent sperm from entering the ejaculate, or it can be “nonobstructive” due to the testis’ inability to produce the required amount of sperm

Psychosexual counselling

• There can be various reasons for sexual difficulties and psychosexual therapy helps a lot in identifying them.
• The various causes for sexual difficulties and origins may be
• psychological (depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions)
• physical (illness, disability/chronic illness, surgery, accident or medications)
• emotional (unresolved grief, unhappiness in the relationship)
• situational (certain situations or environments)
