A member asked:
We have a 3yr , my husband is 26yrs , 2yrs ago he had an infetion in the scrotom , could it have caused a low sperm count ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low sperm count: Possibly but not likely. Oligospermia (low sperm count). Can be due to previous testis infection or epididymal scarring from previous infection and inflammation, however most men who have had epididymitis or even orchitis do not subsequently find themselves sub fertile or infertile. See a urologist and have a semen analysis.
