Brief Answer:
Best choice for you is test tube baby (IVF)

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Hcm,
Infertility first has to be tested for both male and female. if the cause of infertility is only low sperm count then the best choice for you is some assisted fertility technique such as intra uterine insemination or invitro fertilization
If the sperm count is low the chance of getting pregnant without any means is only 10 -20 percent.
your chance of getting pregnant is high if you go for some assisted fertility technique.
before these procedures i want your wife also to get evaluated. if everything is fine you can go for intra uterine insemination where your semen will be put in the uterine mouth at the best time (at the time of ovulation) many will get pregnant by this technique itself it is not much costlier as test tube baby or in vitro fertilization
If this option fails the next best option is to go for in vitro fertilization (test tube baby) where ovum is sucked from your wife and the best sperm is made to fertilize inside a test tube and the fertilized ovum is inserted in your wifes woumb. almost 70 -80 percent of the couples will get pregnant by this technique
hope this explains

Brief Answer:
ayurvedic preparations are not recommended

Detailed Answer:
welcome to health care magic,

There are many ayurvedic preparations which are available in the market but none of them is effective. They not approved by FDA and more over the effect of such preparations are not evidence based.

These preparations are sold for money and there is nobody who has really benefited from such ayurvedic products. I never advice my patients to buy such medicines which are not only effective and they will cause unwanted side effects also.

The best option for you is to visit andrology clinic and get yourself checked for the reason for low sperm count.

Avoiding frequent masturbation and stopping having sex and masturbation for a particular period about a month and then Having sex on the ovulation period of your wife helps.

avoid smoking, alcohol,and tobacco preparations.
regular exercises are recommended

Depending upon the reason for your low sperm count your treating infertility specialist will advice you for some assisted reproductive technique.

Answered by Dr. Amarnath (2 hours later)
Brief Answer:
no proven effect for all these drugs

Detailed Answer:
Adyzova is a herbal preparation .It is said to have antioxidant effect like vitamins.
Other two drugs are also not proved to have effect . For selling such drugs advertisements are made.
For taking such drugs you can have vitamin tablets.

If these drugs have some effect in increasing the sperm count FDA might have approved and many infertility clinics would have suggested these drugs before recommending assisted reproductive techniques.
You can try anything but I will never recommend such drugs to my patients.
Hope this explains
