Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for over a year and have always wanted a child. However, we haven't been able to conceive. I initially thought it was my issue, but after getting checked at the hospital a few days ago, I found out that it's actually my husband who has male infertility. So, I want to know what dietary precautions we should take for this condition.Doctor's answer:
If there is infertility, you can consume foods that tonify the kidneys and replenish essence, such as: Chinese yam, eel, ginkgo biloba, sea cucumber, frozen tofu, tofu skin, peanuts, walnuts, and sesame seeds, which can enhance the immune system and improve sperm production ability. Apples can improve zinc deficiency in patients with chronic prostatitis. Lycopene in watermelon, grapes, tomatoes, and certain shellfish can increase sperm count in infertile men.
