Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult here about what methods are good for improving sperm vitality. I have been married for several years, but my wife has not been able to get pregnant. I went to the hospital for a routine semen analysis and was told that my sperm vitality is low. I don't know how to improve sperm vitality? What to eat can improve sperm vitality? What methods should be used to improve sperm vitality?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for abnormal sperm quality, such as urinary and reproductive tract infections, endocrine disorders, immune antibodies, chromosomal abnormalities, changes in seminal fluid 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 oligospermia 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 nutritional foods, nuts, etc. Alternatively, they can take health supplements high in protein zinc.
