Patient's question:
Husband has low sperm count, many people have reported that Xinyikangda Lycopene combined with Zinc Selenium Treasure is effective in regulating sperm quantity.Doctor's answer:
The main causes of asthenozoospermia are mostly related to reproductive tract infections, low levels of sexual hormones, autoimmune reactions, or varicocele. Therefore, it is essential to conduct necessary examinations of the reproductive tract, including the prostate, etc. If signs of conditions such as prostatitis, orchitis, or epididymitis are found, it is necessary to adopt a treatment approach that first reduces inflammation and then strengthens sperm quality. The author applied a modified self-prescribed formula for clearing sperm and reducing inflammation, selecting herbs like polygonum multiflorum and patrinia to clear heat and dampness, while using salvia miltiorrhiza and Ostrea gigas to promote blood circulation, soften hard masses, and resolve stagnation. Additionally, herbs like plantago asiatica were used to nourish sperm. For cases with low levels of sexual hormones, it is advisable to tonify the kidney Qi using a modified self-prescribed method for strengthening sperm and nourishing yin, incorporating herbs like human placenta and epimedium to balance both yin and yang, salvia miltiorrhiza for promoting blood circulation, Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis pilosula for replenishing Qi, and herbs like cuscuta chinensis and goji berries to nourish sperm.If anti-sperm antibodies are positive in the blood or seminal plasma, the author's self-prescribed Anti-Immune No. 1 tablet is used. For cases caused by varicocele, it is necessary to determine the severity. In severe cases, high ligation surgery should be considered, followed by continued treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. For mild to moderate cases, conservative treatment can be performed using traditional Chinese medicine methods to promote sperm quality and blood circulation, such as salvia miltiorrhiza, angelica sinensis, persicae Semen, and carthamus tinctorius, to unblock the blood vessels of the testes and epididymis, activate microcirculation, and improve the blood supply and oxygenation conditions for sperm.
