Brief Answer:
Sperms wont be affected

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Ejacualtion caused by wet dreams is not going to make much difference.

I suggest you go ahead and give sample for IVF without worrying about further fall in semen count. Everything will be fine.

No need to take any medicines or different food items.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Brief Answer:
ICSI can be done

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I do regular IVF practice and I come across many patients who have same problem as you do.

There will be enough sperms in today's sample you give for IVF. Your doctors can perform ICSI procedure if they find the sperms are very less. ICSI does not need many sperms and is an efficient procedure for men with low sperm count like you.

Smoking is likely to affect your count. Mastrubation habit is not a problem. Dont worry. As of now you dont need to do anything. Be worry free and give sample for IVF/ICSI.

No need to do anything as of now.
