Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to consult about what to do if sperm motility is low. I currently do not have children, and my current symptoms are poor sleep quality. When I was at the hospital, the semen test showed slightly low motility. I don't know if it's the reason for infertility or something else. I want to know how to treat it well. What should I do if sperm motility is low?Doctor's answer:
Consume foods rich in magnesium. Magnesium helps regulate heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve male fertility. It is recommended that men eat 2 bowls of milk-added oatmeal for breakfast and 1 banana. Foods rich in magnesium include soybeans, potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal, pasta, leafy greens, and seafood.Arginine is a key component of the sperm head and enhances sperm motility. Foods rich in arginine include sea cucumber, eel, loach, cuttlefish, sesame, Chinese yam, ginkgo, tofu skin, frozen tofu, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts. For example, sea cucumber has been traditionally regarded as a precious food for tonifying the kidneys, replenishing essence, and invigorating yang to treat impotence.
