According to the largest evaluation of semen quality, reproductive function and metabolic risk in men for fertility evaluation, a man’s semen count is a marker of his general health. Alberto Ferlin, M.D., Ph.D., the study’s lead investigator, said low sperm count is associated with metabolic alterations, cardiovascular risk and low bone mass.
Infertile men may have hidden health problems or risk factors that can impair quality of life and shorten lifespan. Men who have low sperm counts are at the risk of high blood pressure- systolic, bad cholesterol and triglycerides, higher frequency of metabolic syndrome, these and other metabolic risk factors increase the chance of developing diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Low sperm count is less than 39 million per ejaculate. Researchers found a 12-fold increased risk of hypogonadism, or low testosterone levels, in men with low sperm counts. Men with low testosterone had osteoporosis or low bone mass, low sperm count is associated with poorer measures of cardiometabolic health.
