Should My Husband Take Paternia For 3 Months If His Sperm Count Is Low And I Am Unable To Conceive ?
Hello Dr Abhishek
I am 31 yrs old and my husband is 34. I have been trying to conceive for past one yr but not successful yet. My husband's latest fertility test showed low sperm count(23 million), motility(35%) and morphology(0-1%). He has taken Paternia earlier for 3 months and then got the above results. Before that his motility was 10%, rest 2 figures same. His all other reports are normal like hormones and ultrasound as well as my HSG, ultrasound and hormones test resports were normal. I want to ask should he take Paternia for another 3 months? We are thinking of going for IVF next yr but I just want to make sure that we've left no stones unturned before going for IVF. Do you think Ayurvedic or homeapathic medicine or yoga could have any substantial impact in next 6 months? Many thanks, K.

Hi,
I am Dr.Rahul Reddy from ANDROCARE, Hyderabad. I am a male infertility specialist. Taking Paternia alone cannot improve all factors. It just a antioxidant, cures only sperm maturation issues.The main problem in your Husband's semen report is poor Morphology. 1% morphology means 99% of his sperms are defective. Most of the times its because of defective spermatogenesis. Even with IVF if there are 100% defective sperms the success rates are very low. I suggest you to get DFI test[ sperm DNA fragmentation index ].
