Patient's question:
I haven't been able to get my wife pregnant after being married for over a year. I went to the hospital for a detailed check-up myself, and the doctor said my sperm count was too low, which affected pregnancy. I don't know how to adjust my diet if I have male infertility. How should one diet when facing male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Eating more arginine is a necessary component for sperm formation and can enhance sperm motility, playing an important role in maintaining the normal function of the male reproductive system. Foods rich in arginine include eel, sea cucumber, cuttlefish, octopus, sea bass, sesame, peanuts, and walnuts.Change unhealthy lifestyle habits and strengthen the body. Patients should quit smoking, avoid alcohol, and avoid spicy foods. Establish a good routine in daily life, diet, and rest. Enhance nutrition, eat more zinc and selenium-rich foods, and engage in moderate physical exercise.
Infertility can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications must be used symptomatically during treatment.
