Abnormal Sperm Morphology Can Lifestyle Changes Improve Fertility?

3 months ago

I recently found out that my sperm morphology is abnormal, and I feel helpless because it’s affecting our chance of having a baby. Are there treatments or lifestyle changes that can significantly improve sperm shape, or will we have to rely entirely on assisted reproductive technologies?

Abnormal sperm morphology can sometimes improve with lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy diet, taking antioxidants, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol intake.

Treating underlying infections, hormonal imbalances, or varicoceles can also improve sperm shape. However, in cases where morphology is severely impaired, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF or ICSI are often necessary, as these procedures can bypass natural barriers to fertilization.

Combining lifestyle improvements with medical interventions maximizes the chances of successful conception while supporting overall reproductive health.
