Patient's question:
Hello, my husband and I have been married for four years. We never used any protection during sex, but I have never gotten pregnant. Now, our family is urging us to have a child, and they are very anxious. I also went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with me, suggesting the issue might be with my husband.Doctor's answer:
Hello, asthenozoospermia refers to low sperm motility, with a primary manifestation being a decrease in the proportion of A-grade or B-grade sperm, which reduces the ability of sperm to move forward and effectively combine with the egg, severely impacting male fertility. To improve asthenozoospermia, it is not just about taking medication, as drugs are for treating diseases and lack a targeted approach for treating this condition. The correct method for improving asthenozoospermia is through regulation, which should combine lifestyle and dietary adjustments. In terms of lifestyle, it is important to avoid habits that harm sperm, such as long-term smoking and alcohol consumption, prolonged sitting, and frequent sexual activity, while maintaining a regular lifestyle. In terms of diet, it is advisable to reduce the intake of spicy and greasy foods and increase the consumption of sperm-enhancing foods like abalone, beef, chicken liver, lean meat, and chicken. Additionally, taking zinc supplements like Youzhiyuan chewable tablets can enhance the regulatory effects.
