Are FertilAid, CountBoost And MotilityBoost Effective For Maintaining Sperm Quality?
Question: Hi,
My name is XXXX XXXXXXX I am 30 years old. I have a couple of questions about fertility and sex as follows:
1. I have been tested with low sperm count (10M /Ml) but with good motility and morphology. I have failed to father a baby for the last two years and half. I have recently started taking fertility drugs such as FertilAid for Men, CountBoost and MotilityBoost. Will these medications help improve the quality of my sperm? I have seen a number of positive and negative feedback about these drugs from the Internet. The same, doctors were giving contradicting feedback about the medication. Some have encouraged with the anticipation to get sperm quality improved while others said low sperm count can't be improved and suggested to go for IUI or IVF. Please advice.
2. As I travel regularly and spend days if not weeks away from my bed, I prefer to do masturbation. Sometimes I end up doing daily or even twice a day. Does this have any health problems? Does this affect the quality of my sperm?
3. I like to have regular sex with my wife whenever I am around. To maximize the chance of conceiving, is it okay to do sex daily? How about have multiple sex a day?
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Try to have regular sex during fertile period.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
1. The low sperm count is difficult to improve with these supplements. These are more beneficial for improper sperm morphology.
However these will help in maintaining a good sperm quality and will improve your chances of fathering a baby. You can take these for 90 days and in case the repeat testing does not show an improvement in counts can plan for IUI.
2. Masturbation as such is not harmful for the fertility but it is best to avoid it for 3 days prior to the fertile days of your wife so that you can have a concentrated semen for ejaculation while having sex.
3. It is OK to do a daily sex. Do ask her to use an ovulation kit to predict the day of ovulation. Avoid multiple sex a day as that will further decrease the number of sperms per ejaculation.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
