Brief Answer:
Further investigation work up is needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.

I can certainly understand your concern.

Yes, there is significant possibility that these drugs contribute the sterility issue in your case.

But nevertheless, it's important to get a complete evaluation of your reproductive system.

For this I advise you the following.

1.Scrotal ultrasound Doppler
2.Seminal analysis
3.Serum LH and FSH
4.Serum Testosterone.

These tests are mandatory in assessment of the sterility issues in Men.

Further management if any is largely based on test results.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
CoQ forte can help to improve sperm power.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.

These drugs can impair the motility , speed and function of sperms in the genital tract.

In my earlier response, I advised you to get the following tests.

1.Seminal analysis
2.Scrotal Ultrasound Doppler
3.Serum Testosterone.
4.Serum LH and FSH.

Meanwhile, I would like to prescribe oral pills of CoQ forte and Becozinc one pill a day for 3 months to improve your sperm power.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if he can prescribe these pills to you.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
