Is There A Treatment To Increase The Semen Count?
Hi
My husband (44) has recently had a sperm analysis. He had a vasectomy reversal back in December 2010. His results showed volume: 2.9 ml, density 12 million per ml, motility 35 % and normal forms 4%. He has quit smoking and is taking a zinc supplement. I have normal cycles and am diabetic HBA1C- 6.3. What are our chances of conceiving or increasing my husbands semen count further? His first count three months after the reversal was 0.6 million so we have seen fair progression already. However, we are desperate to conceive. Thanks in advance.

hello
Thanks for query .
Recent semen analysis of your husband after vasectomy reversal is reported to be 12 millions per ml .
It is very difficult to predict possibility of conception with sperm count of 12 million/ml though sperm motility is within accepted range for effective fertilization of female egg to result in pregnancy .
Truly speaking there are no medications proved to be scientifically effective to increase sperm count .However Following measure will help to icrease sperm count to some extent .
1) Practice regular exercise for 45 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning.
2) Take high protein diet rich in vegetables and fruits and Vitamin A,C,D,E.and Zinc
3)Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday
4) Avoid alcohol and smoking..
I would suggest you to consult qualified Infertility specialist and explore possibility of pregnancy with the help of newly assisted reproductive techniques like IVF or ICSI.
