Brief Answer:
Let us find the cause first
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Male/33 - sperm 16 million - found 3 days ago - married and trying for a baby - addicted to porn - stopped porn and began to eat food high in zinc and folic acid - wants to know hoe long will it take to build it up ...
My thoughts and advise as per the history you have provided:
First of all we have to find the reason why the count is so less at such an young age of 33.
The commonest causes at your age are:
Varicocele
And problems with Genito-urinary system.
Porn by no means reduce the sperm count directly, but it is good that you have stopped.
I would advise you the following:
Clinical evaluation, examination and ultrasonography with color doppler mode of scrotum and abdomen.
Repeat tests after 3 days and post the reports.
Take an opinion of an Urologist and give me the feedback.
Avoid tight underwear.
Avoid hot temperatures.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
