Hello. Thank you for contacting HCM. I have gone through your question and I will try my best to give you a satisfactory answer. As the sperms take around 3 months approximately to develop i would suggest to maintain a healthy life style to increase the quality and quantity of the sperms by changes in routine such as: maintain a healthy weight, limiting consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, consuming diet consisting of eggs; cheeses and fish along with vegetables more particularly tomatoes, lettuce , carrots, spinach etc. Some environmental factors also play a role in low sperm motility such as heat therefore avoiding hot baths, saunas or tight fitting underwear may help in increasing the sperm motility. I would advise you to repeat the test after 3-6 months. In case if you are unable to conceive after more than 1 year of unprotected sex please consult your local physician for further course of treatment. You and your boyfriend may be offered options like IUI i.e a sample of man s semen is collected and then injected into the woman s body or IVF i.e the fertilization process is done outside the body in a specialized setup and then fertilized egg is placed in the woman s body. Both these procedures eliminate the need of sperm to swim forward. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
