Therefore it might be wise for both couples to take tests to determine the cause of infertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the infertility tests recommended by the doctor can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scrotal Ultrasound<\/strong>&#8211; This test includes high-frequency sound waves to produce images inside of your body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transrectal Ultrasound<\/strong>&#8211; This test determines if anything is dysfunctional with your prostate. A doctor will use a wand inserted through the rectum region to look for blocked tubes that are responsible for semen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hormone Testing<\/strong>&#8211; A blood sample is taken to measure the levels of testosterone and other hormones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis<\/strong>&#8211; This is an in-detailed sperm analysis in the urine. The presence of sperm in urine can determine that the sperm is traveling backward instead of forward during ejaculation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Genetic Testing<\/strong>&#8211; Usually, this test is recommended after there has been sperm analysis. When sperm concentration is extremely low, there are higher chances of a genetic cause. A blood test can be done to determine signs of genetic abnormality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Testicular Biopsy<\/strong>&#8211; This test requires removing a little skin from the testicles by using a needle. This test is to purely determine if there is blockage or another sperm transport problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Specialized Sperm Function Tests<\/strong>&#8211; Several tests are run to determine if there is any problem in sperm quality and to see if there is any problem in attaching to the female egg for fertilization. These tests are performed after major tests have been determined for the sperm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"medical_treatments_for_male_infertility\"><\/span>Medical Treatments for Male Infertility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of all the tests involved, an exact cause of infertility cannot be found. Certain treatments are also required apart from the diet to increase sperm count. You may learn that assisted reproductive techniques might also be required apart from taking care of foods for your male fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Surgery<\/strong> \u2013 In the case of varicocele or any other condition, surgery might be the safest and quickest option for recovering male infertility. However, this procedure is only prescribed after your doctor has strictly advised you of surgery after your surgical procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Treating Infections<\/strong> &#8211; If you are experiencing any underlying infection that is hindering your fertility issue, then your doctor might put you on antibiotic treatments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Treatment for Sexual Intercourse Problems<\/strong> &#8211; Certain counseling and medications might be recommended if there is erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Hormone Treatment<\/strong> &#8211; Your doctor may recommend hormone supplements depending on the low or high levels of hormones that may be affecting your fertility issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&nbsp;Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)<\/strong> &#8211; ART treatments require normal sperm ejaculation or surgical extraction to use the sperm for in vitro fertilization or to insert directly into the female genital tract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"weight_regulation_for_male_fertility\"><\/span>Weight Regulation for Male Fertility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to research conducted at Harvard, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/news\/hsph-in-the-news\/excess-weight-sperm-fertility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">overweight men were 11% more likely to have a low sperm count and 39% of them were more likely to have no sperm during ejaculation<\/a>. Overall the research has also shown that 42% of men who fell in the category of being obese than their BMI were likely to have low sperm count and 81% of them are likely to have no sperm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"weight_loss\"><\/span>Weight Loss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the single most effective activity to do to lose weight, to increase sperm count. Seek a doctor who can help in managing your weight. Schedule an appointment with a nutritionist to change your habits that can eventually improve your weight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"exercise\"><\/span>Exercise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you do not necessarily have to lose weight, staying physically active can drastically improve sperm count. Exercising can be additionally very beneficial for your overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"take_your_multivitamins\"><\/span>Take Your Multivitamins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-health-worthy-benefits-of-multivitamins-a-complete-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Multivitamins have some different kinds of vitamins<\/a> that we miss through our regular diet intake. Taking good vitamins for your sperm health is a good practice. According to one study, taking regular doses of vitamin C can help in sperm concentration and mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"other_measures_to_help_male_infertility\"><\/span>Other Measures to Help Male Infertility&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"check_your_environment\"><\/span>Check Your Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exposure to certain chemicals in your environment can hinder your fertility. A lot of stress around you can also lead to fertility issues in some men. Some examples of certain chemical exposures can look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Certain metals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pesticides\/Insecticides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain paints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Endocrine disruptors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These chemicals have previously been reported to be toxins for your body if you happen to be exposed to any of these. Excess heat and radiation can also affect your sperm count.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"stay_away_from_substance_abuse\"><\/span>Stay Away from Substance Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In certain studies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5769315\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">unhealthy sperm have been linked to people who are consistent with heavy drinking, tobacco smoking, and other drug use<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"wear_loose_clothing\"><\/span>Wear Loose Clothing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having an adequate temperature and loose airy fitting can help with maintaining the right temperature for your sperm.

While taking herbal supplements may also help but male infertility requires immediate medical help. You should immediately seek some dietary changes that will promote a high sperm count. For example, reducing the intake of trans fatty acids, increasing the use of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and intake can drastically help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are facing any fertility-related issues, you can consult with one of <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/lahore\/andrologist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our top andrologists<\/a> as well as a nutritionist right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Please feel free to reach out, before it becomes too late<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Male Infertility is more common than you know.
