How To Treat Significant Reduction In Sperm Count?
HI, me and my husband, we have been trying for our second child from last 18 months, but no success, my first child is a boy who is 7 now, we got our checks done, I am absolutely normal but his sperm count has significantly reduced from last time,hence unless a miracle happens than its a different story , otherwise we should go for IUI or IVF. i am in favour of iui, would you be able to tell me if this is the right treatment and how much costs

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
I would advise to do color doppler ultrasound of scrotum to rule out varicocele, and to see vascularity of testes. As in varicocele there is drastic reduction in sperm count.
As far as IUI intrauterine insemination and IVF invitro fertilization concern IUI is better option.
IUI is little bit costlier treatment.
Its cost varies from hospital to hospital.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
