Can Low Sperm Count Lead To Infertility?
I am a 21 year old female and my partner is 36 years old. We are trying for a baby but nothing has happened yet. Could this be down to a low sperm count? I have been pregnant before and had a termination. He has 2 children. So i know we can both concieve, but i think he may have a low sperm count, what is the best thing to do?

Hello
Infertility may be due to many reasons.It is important to evaluate both partners.
Besides clinical evaluation,both of you need routine investigations.
It include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver and renal function test,urine RE/ME,thyroid profile,ultrasound of abdomen.
Additionally your husband may need semen analysis and you may need follicular study.
Hormone estimation may be advised after evaluation.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.
Wish you all the best.
