Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Sadly, medicine has not come up with such drugs which have dramatic effects on sperm count and motility. Multi vitamin with zinc combination drugs are used with some improvement.
I would suggest that you to rule out varicocele in your husband by a doctor. If it is there, get it operated. And do some life style modifications like
- Reduce weight, do exercise.
- Stop smoking and alcohol.
- Avoid caffeine.
- Wear loose under garments.
- Healthy diet with multivitamin and zinc.
With the treatment you should repeat your semen analysis after 3 months. If same state is there then better to go for IUI. It is intrauterine deposition of sperms. Here healthy sperms are selected and placed inside the uterus. You can try 4 to 5 cycles of IUI before proceeding to IVF.
Hope i have been helpful.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
