Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling particularly exhausted, and during intimate moments with my wife, the amount of sperm I discharge is very little. Now, we are already planning to have a child, but this symptom of mine is truly causing me great concern. What should I eat to improve oligospermia and asthenozoospermia?Doctor's answer:
1. Appropriately increasing the intake of foods rich in sex hormones, such as sheep kidneys, pig kidneys, dog testicles, ox penises, and chicken livers, can promote the differentiation and maturation of spermatogonia, which is very beneficial for sperm production.2. Enhancing the intake of various minerals. The testes, prostate, and semen themselves contain high concentrations of zinc. A long-term deficiency in zinc intake can lead to low sperm count and testicular atrophy. High-zinc foods are primarily based on shellfish, such as oysters, which contain the most zinc and can be consumed more frequently.
3. Digesting various vitamins. Vitamins play a role as raw materials for sperm and help maintain the health of the sexual organs.
