Can Semen Density Decrease Be Treated?
Hi, my partner had a semen analysis in November 2010 when his density was 18 x10ml and other results were normal. When we had an IUI this week, his density was 0.9 x10ml. What would be the reason for this decrease when he has not been ill, or had any lifestyle changes. I am told there is nothing he can do / take to significantly increase the count-is that true?

Hello,
Density issue comes when there is an infection in the urinary tract or prostate inflammation. Doing an ultrasound pelvis and scrotum can help you find the cause. Also check for blood sugar and urine culture. Above issue can be without symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
