Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult about the treatment methods for oligospermia. Recently, I've been having intercourse with my partner and always feel that the amount of sperm I discharge is relatively low. I am currently trying to conceive, and after the examination, it was said that I have oligospermia. What should a man do if he has oligospermia? How should oligospermia be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of asthenozoospermia, emphasizes the pathogenesis as "kidney deficiency complicated with damp-heat and blood stasis-toxin." The core of the disease is formed by the triad of kidney deficiency, blood stasis, and damp-heat, with the disease locus being predominantly "external pathogens prevail, while internal deficiency is less." The focus is on the three organs: kidney, liver, and spleen. Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, the approach adopted is "nourishing the kidney and replenishing essence, promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis, and clearing damp-heat simultaneously," achieving a balance between yin and yang, with nourishment complemented by circulation and purification, effectively improving the cure rate. You might try the Chinese herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pills, which, taken orally, has a significant therapeutic effect on infertility caused by sperm abnormalities such as oligozoospermia, azoospermia, asthenozoospermia, and low sperm motility. Additionally, you can eat some seafood, dried fruits, and fresh vegetables and fruits, enhance physical exercise, improve physical fitness, and boost immunity, thereby increasing sperm vitality.
