How Can Sperm Count Be Increased?

My husband has been taking clomiphene citrate for 6 months to try and boost performance and possibly boost sperm count. For the first two months he felt great and it seemed to help with performance. Since then, it hasn t been working and he seems tired all the time. His doctor gave him a 12 month supply and isn t concerned about seeing my husband again. My husband is also taking anastrozole that was prescribed at the same time. What should we do?

Hello,

Low sperm count and other sperm disorders are complex, and first, you should do more detailed sperm analysis that includes number, morphology, and motility of sperms. There are plenty of causes and treatment options for men with low sperm count vary depending on the cause of the condition. For example, surgery is the most common treatment for men suffering from varicocele.

For low sperm count due to infections of the urinary or reproductive tract, antibiotics can be prescribed to help clear the infection. Medication and hormone replacement treatment options can also be used when the cause of low sperm count related to a hormone imbalance. In cases of low sperm motility, assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments would be used to facilitate conception by inserting sperm into the female reproductive tract.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
