Hi I just found out that I have low sperm count and motility is around 8% and was told that artificial insemination is the only option for conceiving. Is there a way to increase sperm count and motility? Please help.
Hello It would help to understand if there are any other factors that are causing decreased motility. Sometimes an increased viscosity of the sperm may also be responsible for low motility. You need to know the factors and yes sperm count and motility can be increased by taking supplements prescribed by doctor
Hi there, I fully agree with the (person 1name) above that first you need to know about the factors that is causing low sperm count and motility. Low sperm count could result from infections in urinary or reproductive tract, antibiotics help clear the infection. Hormone replacement treatment can be used to increase sperm count if the factor is hormonal imbalance.
Hello I do not fully agree with (person 2name) have said. I was also diagnosed with low sperm count and motility when we were TTC with no results for 1 and a 1/2 year. The doctor artificial insemination but my wife seeked other options as well. Then after a year she conceived and now we have twin boys. Here is what I did avoid hot baths, exercise 5 times a week, herbal oil massage, maintain ideal weight, quit smoking and alcohol, reduce stress levels, get enough sleep and a healthy diet. And yes zinc supplement helped me a lot in increasing mobility
Hi, thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. Certainly I am not alone facing this. Thanks a lot.
If the doctor is the one that confirms your case and he said that you need an artificial insemination, then I think there will be no way anymore to strengthen your sperm's motility. However, you want a child really, you can have IVF. Talk to your doctor about it if it is just an inference of yours.

Hi dear. I am happy that you are asking the question on a public platform. I am sure you will get the right answer. I will try my best to give you the right answer. Here is what we did: My DH count was not the worst, but was not the best. Our problem was 60% count, but more was the problem with morphology and motility. No problems with my eggs that we are aware of. Approx 3 mo before TTC again( on break) I had DH cut caffeine and drink more water, bought boxers, and had him start taking fertility blend,( he does chewing tobacco- no quitting on that one) But overall it definitely improved his swimmers to go straight for the egg, literally!!. We also abstained from BMS 5 days prior to IUI. Like one said it's hard to say what worked for us and what did not. but something did. I think it would be in your best interest to ask your Doctor if any of these things would work for you guys first. All of our changes were worth a try before going straight to the urologist so that he could tell us he either needs surgery or that there was nothing really that they could do to improve count motility and morph. Given that it was more the motility and morph and doing research, the urologist would not be able to help us and we'd have to go through IVF with ICSI, which is where they pick out the good sperm and put in the egg to fertilize. I'm sure this did not help too much being that we are not exactly in the same boat, but I hope it gives you something to talk to your Doctor about.
Hello, all. In fact, we should thank the modern medicine. If you have low sperm count, there are treatment options depending on conditions. For example, surgery is the most common treatment for men suffering from varicocele. For low sperm count due to infections of the urinary/reproductive tract, antibiotics can be prescribed to help clear the infection. In cases of low sperm motility, Deficiencies in certain nutrients, especially vitamin A and C and zinc, can also impact sperm quality and motility. Eat foods rich in selenium like organic eggs, brewer's yeast, brazil nuts, garlic, and seafood. Selenium is essential in sperm formation and development. CoQ10 has been found to improve sperm count and motility on asthenozoospermia. Most information I know, I wrote it here. I wish this information help you to solve your problem. GL
Hello, all. So sorry for your problem and thanks for your demonstration of the problem. Since 2014 I married my boyfriend. We tried to conceive for a year but useless. So, we visit a specialist doctor and he asked us to made blood tests. My results were fine but my husband’s results weren’t fine. He discovered that he suffered from infertility as he has low sperm count. My husband didn’t like artificial insemination as you. So, we tried to find another solution. Then we found that vitamin A and C and zinc can also impact sperm quality. Also started eating foods rich in selenium like organic eggs, brewer's yeast, brazil nuts, garlic, and seafood. All of these factors helped him to improve his sperm count. After 6 months of following this routine, we made another test for his sperm and the results were satisfying. After one year, we had a lovely baby. I recommend you following healthy routine instead of artificial insemination. All kind wishes.
There is always a way out of anything that is doing you harm! Don't stress about this too much. At least I hope that there will be a way out for you. May I ask how old are you sir? Usually the younger the person the higher chances of improvement. I think that there are somethigns that could helping. Starting from the most obvious which is a healthy diet. One that is full of minerals necessary for sperm production. I have always known that dark chocolate is good for sperm. You can start there, rise your chocolate intake. This obviousl wont be enough. You also need to stop bad habits. Smoking, drugs and alcohol are a no go in your case. There won't be improvement otherwise. Check with a dietitian and this might work for you! God bless dear friend. Update us on what happens.
