Sperm aggregation what it is and how to treat it

Sperm aggregation is a medical term for one of the indicators of an analysis such as a spermogram. What is Sperm aggregation? This is a process in the male body that is characterized by the adhesion of sperm in semen with epithelium, mucus, macrophages and the formation of breasts and lumps. Thus, the mobility of male cells is significantly reduced and affects the ability of a man to fertilize a female cell, and, as a result, the ability of a couple to become pregnant.

A spermogram for aggregation can be carried out in combination with other factors that need to be determined or only for the diagnosis of such a disease. In any case, it will help to assess the quality of male sperm in general.

Why aggregation appears

It is important to distinguish between agglutination (adhesion of germ cells directly) and aggregation (adhesion of sperm cells with other cells). The first is a serious and long-term treatable disease. If a man was diagnosed with aggregation, then it can be quickly cured and forgotten, especially if the doctor was consulted in the early stages of the disease. But aggregation can develop into a pathology, then its treatment will be longer and more difficult.

Why does sperm aggregation occur? After all, it does not manifest itself, and for this process to begin to develop, the influence of some factors is necessary.

• lack of mucus in male semen. The test results should not show the presence of mucus in the sample. If the sperm are glued to the mucus, it means that there is inflammation or infection in the male prostate or semen. Medical experience proves that sperm aggregation most often occurs with mucus.
• aggregation with macrophages. Such formations should also not be in the normal analysis of the spermogram. If macrophages are present in the semen counts, it means that the patient is sick for an infectious disease and needs to be treated.
• aggregation with epithelial cells. Such a case is very rare, but still occurs. But if such a case occurs, then this indicates inflammation in the male body.
• the presence of erythrocytes in the semen. If there are lumps of erythrocytes in the spermogram, it means that there are neoplasms or microtrauma in the patient's body that damage the blood vessels.
• aggregation with leukocytes. Leukocytes can be in the analysis of spermogram, but in small quantities (2-5 cells). Exceeding the norm may indicate that a man may have difficulties in conceiving a child, since the gluing of sperm with these cells is very strong and the decrease in sperm motility drops to zero.

Also, sperm motility and aggregation can be affected by diseases of the bladder or genitourinary system caused by infections, viruses and fungi. Especially often such cases occur during inflammatory or infectious processes.

Most often, aggregation is caused by such a common male ailment as vesiculitis - this is the process of inflammation of the seminal vesicles. This disease also contributes to the emergence and development of such a problem as prostatitis - inflammation of the tissues of the prostate gland. Concomitant ailments and manifestations of aggregation can manifest itself in the form of cystitis, pyelonephritis, paraproctitis, orchiepididymitis and other diseases of the reproductive and urinary systems.

Any type of sperm aggregation can also occur due to the fact that a man eats improperly, does not have a competent day schedule or suffers from lack of sleep, physically works a lot, is constantly near chemicals or abuses alcohol, drugs and tobacco.

Aggregation of sperm with cellular debris

Aggregation using sperm gram is the most affordable option for diagnosing a disease. Such a diagnosis is made for a patient whose sperm sample contains sperm and particles of dead cells. They grow together and most often this happens due to the fact that the man was ill with various diseases and did not go to the doctor in time or did not deal with them. Over time, such a disease can develop into a pathology and often the problem of its treatment is that a man decides too late to take an analysis and start treating the disease.

The aggregation of spermatozoa with cellular debris is not noticeable with the naked eye, and the inflammations that begin to occur during this disease do not appear immediately. In rare cases, the patient may feel discomfort during intercourse. A visit to a urologist most often falls on a later date, when the disease is started, and inflammatory processes have begun in the body. Then the treatment of sperm aggregation can take months. So the best help for your body is a timely visit to a specialist to check your condition and not run problems. Early diagnosis of the disease will help to shorten the terms of treatment and quickly establish a sexual life, and with it, the conception of a child.

If a man was diagnosed with aggregation of sperm with cellular debris, then he will have to pass not only a spermogram. The doctor prescribes a set of tests that will help him more accurately diagnose the causes of the development of the disease and establish methods of its treatment.

To treat aggregation, you also need to pass:

• blood test.
• urinalysis.
• to do an ultrasound of the pelvic organs and reproductive organs.

How to treat sperm aggregation

Statistics claim that 90% of sperm aggregation occurs with mucus. Mucus is formed in the ejaculate during inflammation and during intercourse sperm clump together. To cure such a disease, the patient is usually prescribed an antibacterial therapeutic course in order to normalize the functioning of the entire reproductive system, relieve inflammation and destroy the infection.

The course of treatment can last from a week to a month or more, it all depends on how much the processes in the body are running and what is the general condition of the male body. In any case, the course of treatment, like the drugs, will be selected individually and aimed at the fastest possible recovery of the body.

Do not under any circumstances self-medicate the aggregation. In the case of diagnosing such a problem, this is strictly prohibited. Any course of treatment must be agreed with the doctor. It is possible to treat aggregation with the help of traditional medicine: teas, infusions, drops. But the use of natural remedies should also be discussed with your doctor.

How to treat aggregation

Most often, the patient is advised to "focus" on drugs or products that contain increased amounts of zinc, magnesium and calcium. In addition, each patient is required to take vitamins.

When treating sperm aggregation, it is worth adhering to some important prohibitions.

• the patient should not drink alcohol and smoke.
• it is better to give up the use of fatty, spicy, fried, peppery foods and give preference to light meals, fresh vegetables and fruits.
• pay attention to your underwear. It should not hinder movement, press in the groin, chafe or cause diaper rash. Fabrics should be natural and fit loosely to the body.
• avoid stress, neurosis, overwork and heavy physical exertion.
• Drink plenty of fluids. Add pumpkin seeds, nuts, spinach, parsley, dill to your diet.

But if the main reason for sperm aggregation is an infectious disease, then it will have to be treated with medication. Remember that only after eliminating the cause of the disease will it be possible to start treating its consequences and preventing future threats.

When the treatment of aggregation and concomitant diseases is completed, it is better for the patient to re-test the spermogram. So you can check whether there is a positive result in the treatment and what measures the patient should take next.
