A Low Sperm Count is the Most Common Fertility Problem for Men solutiontohealth

What is a low sperm count?

When the sperm count, which is the concentration of sperm per millilitre of semen, is abnormally low, there is a greatly reduced chance of the female egg being fertilised. This is construed as a degree of infertility.

After a year or more of unprotected sex, if pregnancy has not occurred, you should both see a fertility specialist. Included in the tests the doctor may want to conduct, will most likely be a semen analysis. This analysis will test the quality and quantity of your sperm.

If either the quality or quantity of the sperm is poor, it will impact negatively on its ability to penetrate and fertilise the egg. The World Health Organisation have set parameters as to what is considered to be the normal level in terms of sperm count, for fertilisation to take place.

Anything outside these parameters could result in you being classified as infertile.

How can a low sperm count be treated?

There are natural fertility treatment options that have proved to be successful in the treatment of a low sperm volume.

Research has shown that natural supplements such as ginseng, vitamin C, zinc and lycopene, have been beneficial to men with low sperm issues. Healthy eating and some positive lifestyle changes can also improve the sperm quality, as well as increase your sperm count. Talk to your practitioner to determine which products best suit your needs.

Medical science cannot give you a magic pill that will bump up your sperm count. You will have to take action and personal responsibility to deal with your low sperm problems. The best option is to take stock of your lifestyle and eliminate anything which could be standing in the way of you becoming a father.

Some ways to help you naturally increase your sperm count

  • Quit smoking or cut down drastically, avoid recreational drugs.
  • Use alcohol moderately, as excessive use can make you even less fertile.
  • Develop a healthy, balanced, nutritional diet which will also work wonders for your general well-being.
  • Embarking on a regular exercise program will help you to lose extra weight you may be carrying. Obesity has a definite negative impact on fertility.
  • Visit a natural health practitioner and get expert advice as to which would be the best supplements to take for low sperm count.
  • Wherever possible, put stress on the back burner or utilise effective stress-reduction techniques and employ psychological counselling if needed.

Environmental factors which may affect your sperm count

  • Sometimes exposure to heavy metal and smoke-filled areas can contribute to a low sperm count.
  • Identify and eliminate environmental pollutants
  • Never carry your cell phone in your pants pocket. It emits microwaves which are absolutely not sperm friendly.
  • Stay away from saunas, hot baths and tight underwear. Extreme heat or cold also affect sperm volume and quality.

Positive lifestyle changes and supervised well–tailored nutritional protocol will give you at least a fighting chance.

Changing your lifestyle and discarding old bad habits might not be the easiest thing to do, but if you focus on what the end result could be, it will be worth the effort.

We went to Dorota after struggling with infertility for about 2 years, right after visiting a fertility doctor that provided us with absolutely no insights as to what's wrong. One of the first things Dorota said to us was no infertility is unexplained or without cause. She patiently analysed our blood tests, prescribed supplements and most of all provided us with the care and support we needed through this very difficult journey of infertility. We are now 33 weeks pregnant and we couldn't have made it so far without Dorota's guidance and experience. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Dorota!

Dear Dorota, Thank you so much for all your support, wisdom and knowledge during this pregnancy! You've played a huge role in making sure everything goes as smooth as possible and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Whenever I come across women who are dealing with the hardship if a miscarriage, your name is on my mind and I always tell them how much you've helped me! I would highly recommend Dorota for any issues related to women's health.

Dorota is an exceptional practitioner. I struggled for years with severe endometriosis and the accompanying infertility and fatigue etc. that followed. My goal seeing her was to improve My general well-being but also to have a baby. I now have a beautiful healthy, super alert and active 9 month old boy which we conceived following Dorota’s advice. She doesn’t just give you pills like other naturopaths, she investigates your symptoms and medical results to provide you with supplements and advice tailored to your body. I noticed results within 4 months, reduced fatigue, improved focus and less pain, and after following her recommendations regarding medical specialists fell pregnant 2 months later. I tell everyone I know to go see her and can’t recommend her enough. It’s hard to find someone who balances evidence based practice with complimentary medicine and naturopathy, thank you Dorota!

Dorota has been a life saver who has helped us with the challenges of infertility and as well as helping with my endometriosis and hashimotos. After following all her recommendations we fell pregnant naturally at 39 and now have a beautiful 9month old baby girl. I highly recommend Dorota to anyone affected by infertility, pregnancy and auto immune issues as she really does make a difference.

Dorota offers really good advice and a different way of thinking about PCOS. There are no drastic, scary recommendations like some fad diets offer. Usually women with PCOS get so fed up that we go for the newest dieting craze (I'm so guilty of that!). She spoke with me and came up with a plan that's realistic and shows proven results.
