Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult here about how to improve low sperm motility. I have been married for several years, but my wife has not been able to conceive. I had a semen analysis done at the hospital and it said my sperm motility is low. I don't know how to improve sperm motility. What should I eat to improve sperm motility? How should I improve low sperm motility?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for abnormal sperm quality, such as urinary and reproductive tract infections, endocrine abnormalities, immune antibodies, chromosomal abnormalities, changes in semen composition, varicocele of the seminal vesicles, and certain systemic diseases, etc. It is recommended to undergo further tests to identify the cause of low sperm quality and receive targeted treatment. Many patients with low sperm motility lack trace elements such as zinc and selenium. Those with low sperm count should pay attention to supplementing zinc in their daily diet and consume more zinc-rich foods, such as shellfish, oysters, lean meat, canned fish, hard cheese, coarse nutrition foods, nuts, etc. Alternatively, they can take health supplements high in protein zinc.
