The current lifestyle of men is considered to be the major reason why many are suffering from low sperm count and are having difficulty in conceiving. This includes poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, stress, alcohol, and other unhealthy habits. The good news is that low sperm count, along with other types of male infertility, can be treated! Aside from changing their lifestyles, men can also opt for the following treatments.
·
Surgery –
Doctors may recommend surgery to correct varicocele or to repair an obstructed
vas deferens. This is also an option to reverse vasectomies and to retrieve
sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis.
·
Antibiotics –
If the low sperm count is caused
by an infection of the reproductive tract, then the patient may be advised to
take antibiotics. The issue with this, however, is that it doesn't always lead
to fertility.
· Medication and counselling – These aim to treat symptoms of low sperm count such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and low sexual desire.
ICSI fertility
treatments
If you and your partner are trying to get pregnant now, then you may start considering assisted reproductive techniques like Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection or ICSI. This is the most effective fertility procedures for those who are suffering from low sperm count and other infertility issues in men.
It is similar to IVF because it also
involves retrieving eggs from both male and female. The only difference is that
instead of allowing the eggs to fertilise in a petri dish on their own, the
sperm is mechanically and directly introduce to the egg. Also, in ICSI, the
embryologist chooses the healthiest and strongest sperm to increase the chances
of successful fertilisation.
