Hello ,
Thanks for the follow up.

From your report abnormal findings are:

-Total Motility (%) 30% : it should be >50% (astheno)

-Pus cells: 15-20 /hpf : it should be 0-5 only: indicate some infection and need short course of anti biotics after your physician advice.

-Morphology: appear to normal in 30% sperm: which is in normal range


The sperm life cycle is about 71 days.
That means that changes you make today will take about two and one half months to show up in a semen analysis.
Here are some facts and tips to improve sperm quality and quantity.

Some of the do's and the don'ts for improving sperm health.

Don't::::

•     Don't Sit in hot tubs – Your testicles hang outside your body because sperm like it cooler than 98.6°F. Body temperature and above can kill sperm.

•     Smoke – Smoking is associated with low sperm counts, decreased motility, and a higher incidence of miscarriages. The toxic reactive oxygen species from smoking do damage sperm.

•     Drinks – Most experts recommend that you avoid excessive alcohol consumption. You probably do not need to completely abstain but you should drink moderately.

•     Exercise too strenuously – Strenuous exercise may increase the temperature of your testicles. It may also cause changes in testosterone levels that lead to decreased production of sperm.


Do:::::

•     Do Take Nutritional Supplements – The following supplements have been recommended to enhance sperm production:
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Selenium
Zinc
Coenzyme Q-10
L–Carnitine
B-Complex
Folic Acid 400mg

•     You might also consider adding some lean read meat to your diet.
Red meat is good source of L-Carnitine, thus the name.
Some suggest eating two or three servings of red meat per week to improve sperm health and sperm production.

•     Stay Healthy and Fit – Moderate exercise will always help.
Anything that improves a man's general health is good for his sperm.
Get plenty of rest.
Drink plenty of liquids.
Minimize stress.


•     Ejaculate frequently – Try to ejaculate every 24 to 48 hours. Sperm production is similar to breast milk production. The more you use the more you produce.

Wish you good health.
