Low Sperm Count Can Treatment and Lifestyle Boost Fertility?

4 weeks ago

I recently found out that my sperm count is very low, and my doctor suggested fertility treatments like IUI or IVF. I feel anxious and frustrated because I thought only women had to worry about infertility. How effective are these treatments for men with low sperm count, and what lifestyle changes can help improve sperm quality?

Low sperm count (oligospermia) can significantly impact fertility, but treatments like IUI, IVF, and ICSI are highly effective depending on the severity. IUI can work if the sperm count is mildly low, but IVF or ICSI may be recommended when numbers are very low or motility is poor. Lifestyle changes such as avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol, managing stress, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising moderately, and eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants can improve sperm quality. Regular follow-ups and semen analyses help track improvement, and combining medical and lifestyle approaches often yields the best outcomes.
