Trying To Conceive For 3 Years, Low Motility And Sperm Count, Undergone IUI. How To Improve Motility?

hi Doc, we trying for pregnancy since 3yrs. my hubby s sperm count and motility are very low during these years, like 20 - 45 mill/ml and 5% active motility, 5 - 40% non motility . His age is 30yrs & weight is 62kgs and underwent hernia surgery 3yrs back. earlier upto around 2yrs he took spermotil tabs and coQ tabs but it didnt help.Now another doc has advised to take Maxoza and increased the dose of CoQ. and after using it for 3 months he took semen analysis test yesterday and to our bad luck there is no improvement. results are : volume - 1ml, Count - 28mill/ml, actively motile - 5%, sluggishly motile - 20%, non-motile - 75%, abnormal - 65%, pus cells- 8-10 / hpf, RBC - absent. I have undergone IUI twice but all in vain. what to do doc. how can he improve his motility quickly. plz reply.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Sperm count & motility are affected by many factors including genetic causes. Like our height, color, sperm mptility is also genetically determined. If there is no obvious cause (like varicocele, hydrocele, infection) & if it has not responded to supportive treatment, motility is less likely to improve with treatment. Better option is to go for 3-4 cycles of IUI with pooled semen samples followed by ICSI if not successful.
Wish you good health.
