Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

I need more information to reply your question:

1) What was the sperm count before surgery. Please type details or attach reports and send with this query.

2. What medications you received post operatively. PLease mention the formulations if possible.

3. These will help in me explaining the reason behind decrease in sperms.

I have never had a count done by a lab only myself all I can't tell you is there was a good amount of swimmers before surgery and now after surgery almost none

I was given. Hydromorpine 2mg was put under twice and am now taking only Zoloft 125 mg

I test my self at home I would rather not see a doctor in person about it if I can help it

Brief Answer:
Semen Analysis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I prefer you get semen analysis done from a laboratory as it will give accurate parameters. I dont think these medicines can bring sperms to zero. Your observations seem to be wrong.
